Using the `nix-env` command is far more robust. It also has the
benefit that if the per-user `profiles` and `gcroots` directories do
not exist then they will be created with the correct permissions.
Because of the second point this commit also removes the `mkdir` step
of the installation instructions.

It can be useful to simply instantiate a Home Manager configuration
without actually building it, for example for the purpose of
pre-building it with some custom command.
PR #1099
Nixpkgs no longer packages compton, and instead packages picom, a
(mostly) compatible fork of compton, providing an alias from compton
to picom. Because some configuration options have been changed, and
all references to "compton" have been made deprecated and replaced
with "picom", 'services.compton' has been deprecated in favor of the
new 'services.picom'.
Resolves#878
PR #1101
This change makes use of the `extend` function inside `lib` to inject
a new `hm` field containing the Home Manager library functions. This
simplifies use of the Home Manager library in the modules and reduces
the risk of accidental infinite recursion.

In particular, this entry notes that assigning lists to `home.file`,
`xdg.configFile`, and `xdg.dataFile` is deprecated and will be removed
in the next release.
- Default value is set to static '$HOME/.zsh_history' -- dotDir is not
prepended anymore
- $HOME is not prepended to the option value
- Ensure history path directory exists
Fixes#886, replaces #427.
This makes the
programs.firefox.package
option take a pre-wrapped Firefox package as value if state version is
set to "19.09" or later. This should make the Firefox module work with
a wider range of Firefox packages.
This rewrite allows "long options" but unfortunately does not allow
merged options such as `-vn`.
Also improve the home-manager manual page, with this it should include
all sub-commands and arguments.
Finally, include the home-manager manual page in the generated HTML
documentation.
Unfortunately this duplicates some code from NixOS but it does allow
much more flexibility and, hopefully, stability in the Home Manager
documentation.
Fixes#254.
