The apropos software is useful to get a list of manpages matching a
description or to get a list of all manpages. The latter feature is
used by Emacs to get manpage completion (`M-x man`).
To have apropos working, a database of all available manpages must be
built with mandb. This is what this commits does.
A similar change was done for NixOS:

This removes the dependency on the `nixpkgs` channel within the
modules for state version ≥ 20.09. The default Nixpkgs source starting
from this state version is the path of the `pkgs` argument used to
bootstrap the Home Manager modeuls.
This is a prerequisite for using Home Manager withing Nix flakes.

Before the profile commands would not run if a single package is
installed since `buildEnv` will produce a symlink directly to that
package. By adding this dummy package we ensure that a real directory
will be generated.
Fixes#1392
Before this change,
```rust
fn main() {
println!("{:?}", glib::get_user_special_dir(glib::UserDirectory::Documents));
}
```
would return `None` even though `~/Documents` is available and
`xdg.userDirs.enable = true`. Checking the differences between
`xdg-user-dirs-update` shows that the latter has quotes around each
thing.

This makes the systemd module use the sd-switch application to perform
the unit switch during a generation activation.
Since the closure of sd-switch is relatively lightweight we
unconditionally pull it in as a dependency. We simultaneously remove
the `systemd.user.startServices` option and perform the switch action
automatically.

Add 'services.emacs.socketActivation.enable' for generating an
'emacs.socket' systemd unit.
Emacs since version 26 has supported socket activation, whereby an
external process manager such as systemd listens on a socket and passes
it to the Emacs daemon when the manager launches it. This improves
startup time of the user session and avoids launching the daemon when not
needed, for example when launching the user session via SSH.
This implementation hard-codes the socket path to the default for the
version of 'programs.emacs.finalPackage', because systemd does not
perform shell expansion in the socket unit's 'ListenStream' parameter
and it seems like an advanced use-case to change the socket path. Shell
expansion would be desirable as the socket path usually resides in
directories such as $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or $TMPDIR.
Tests were added to verify behavior in the following cases:
- Emacs service with socket activation disabled
- Emacs 26 with socket activation enabled
- Emacs 27 with socket activation enabled

This change stops update-mime-database from running unless the
`share/mime/packages` directory is writable. For some reason it
appears to be read-only on WSL1.

Add a new 'bookmarks' option, for managing `~/.config/gtk3/bookmarks`,

browsers.

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'.

Add 'services.lieer', which generates systemd timer and service units

Add 'programs.lieer', a tool for synchronizing a Gmail account with a
local maildir and notmuch database. Per-account configuration lives in
'accounts.email.accounts.<name>.lieer'.
This allows the ability to provide arguments to a function, such as
`--on-event` in order to trigger a function on the
`fish_command_not_found` event, for example.

This adds a service module for [grobi](https://github.com/fd0/grobi),
which can be used to automatically configure monitors/outputs for Xorg
via RANDR.
This allows pkgs to be overridden in such a way that `<nixpkgs>` is
never imported, allowing home-manager to be used in environments where
`NIX_PATH` is not set.

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.

Fixes#886, replaces #427.
This change allows to pass custom packages into the `vim.plugins`
option.
Additionally this adds a deprecation warning and an error message if a
vim plugin is not present. This is an improvement because the user
gets instant feedback, when a plugin is not found.
When a configuration file would be written to an existing file, rather
than failing switch (and having the user have to move or delete those
files), move the files automatically to a new path.
Closes#585
This fixes a build error occurring when building a configuration
having fontconfig enabled and `home.packages` only containing one
package installing things to `/lib`.
Also adds a number of test cases to verify the fontconfig cache
generation functionality.
Fixes#703
Also deprecates the `fonts.fontconfig.enableProfileFonts` option. The
configuration is now always generated if `fonts.fontconfig.enable` is
set.

Unfortunately, using `attrsOf` is not possible since it results in too
eager evaluation. In particular, the
home.sessionVariables = {
FOO = "Hello";
BAR = "${config.home.sessionVariables.FOO} World!";
};
example will cause an infinite recursion.
This commit restores the option type of
- `home.sessionVariables`,
- `pam.sessionVariables`,
- `programs.bash.sessionVariables`, and
- `programs.zsh.sessionVariables`
to `attrs`. It also adds test cases for the above options to avoid
regressions.
Fixes#659
This should allow more sensible merging behavior. In particular, with
this change it is possible to use, for example, `mkForce` for greater
control of merging.

When using the NixOS module we cannot guarantee that the Nix store
will be writable during startup. Installing the user packages through
`nix-env -i` will fail in these cases.
This commit adds a NixOS option `home-manager.useUserPackages` that,
when enabled, installs user packages through the NixOS
users.users.<name?>.packages
option.
Note, when submodule support and external package install is enabled
then the installed packages are not available in `~/.nix-profile`. We
therefore set `home.profileDirectory` directly to the HM profile
packages.
This removes the `nixosSubmodule` option in favor of a new option
`submoduleSupport.enable`. This name better indicates that the
submodule mode applies to both NixOS and nix-darwin.
On non-x86 architectures (for example, aarch64) the installation of
home-manager fails indicating that it is attempting to select i686
packages for Linux and those aren't available.
Solution: make the condition for choosing these packages stricter
This commit adds the tmux program to Home Manager.
In addition to configuring tmux, a user may specify tmux plugins from
Nixpkgs. These can be included in the list of `plugins` and can either
be a package (all tmux plugins live under `nixpkgs.tmuxPlugins.*`), or
an object which includes the plugin and an `extraConfig`, which will
be run immediately after sourcing the tmux plugin.
Finally, this commit introduces two nested programs which may be
enabled which depend on tmux: tmuxp and tmuxinator. These do not have
the ability to be configured, although this may be a future
contribution.
