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.
PR #1388
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

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'.

This adds a service module for [grobi](https://github.com/fd0/grobi),
which can be used to automatically configure monitors/outputs for Xorg

This allows pkgs to be overridden in such a way that `<nixpkgs>` is

This change makes use of the `extend` function inside `lib` to inject

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.

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

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.
This adds a general module infrastructure for configuring email
accounts. The intent is to specify high level information such as IMAP
and SMTP hostnames and login information so that more specific program
and service modules do not have to duplicate options for specifying
accounts.
It is allowed for modules to inject further options within this
namespace where relevant. For example, an MUA may wish add an option
to add per-account filter rules.

This is needed to support overriding these options inside match
blocks. A new option `programs.ssh.extraOptionOverrides` has been
added to allow global overrides.
The preferred method of theming rofi is now to use "rasi" theme files.
This commit therefore downplays the colors option and introduces the
theme option.
This is a NixOS module that is intended to be imported into a NixOS
system configuration. It allows the system users to be set up directly
from the system configuration.
The actual profile switch is performed by a oneshot systemd unit per
configured user that acts much like the regular `home-manager switch`
command.
With this implementation, the NixOS module does not work properly with
the `nixos-rebuild build-vm` command. This can be solved by using the
`users.users.<name?>.packages` option to install packages but this
does not work flawlessly with certain Nixpkgs packages. In particular,
for programs using the Qt libraries.
Adds a service for the Stalonetray system tray.
Configured through a 'config' attribute set, which writes space
separated key value pairs on successive lines to `~/.stalonetrayrc`.
Very simple module for hg based on programs.git, and is intended to have
compatible options. For simple setups, a user should be able to write
something like:
{...}:
let vcsconfig = {
enable = true;
userName = "John Smith";
userEmail = "js@example.com";
ignores = [ "*.swp" "*~" ];
};
in
{
programs.git = vcsconfig // {...extra git config...};
programs.mercurial = vcsconfig // {...extra hg confg...};
}
For this reason, the ignore options are `ignores` for `syntax: glob`
and `ignoresRegexp` for `syntax: regexp` so that simple glob ignores
can (very likely) be shared with a git config, despite regular
expressions being the default for mercurial.
This adds a Parcellite service. It has no configuration options, since
the app has its own mutable preferences dialog, which unconditionally
replaces `~/.config/parcellite/parcelliterc` when preferences are
saved.
This removes the deprecated use of `xsession.windowManager` as a
string.
This commit also adjusts the xmonad module to become a full module.
I.e., the backwards compatibility hack was removed.
When enabled this module will cause Home Manager to manage the user
environment XDG variables. When disabled, then Home Manager will use
the XDG variables taken from the user environment.
Before this path would point to the modules path. Using the project
root instead makes it possible to set `<home-manager>` to point to a
downloadable archive of Home Manager. This should make it
significantly easier to install and keep Home Manager up to date.
To match this change we also deprecate the Home Manager option
programs.home-manager.modulesPath
and instead ask users to use
programs.home-manager.path
Note, we still pull in the user's `PATH` in case the user has defined
their own activation blocks that depend on additional tools.
Eventually this will be deprecated and removed.
See #99.
The new options allow some control over automounting, notifications,
and the tray icon.
This commit also changes the defaults to automatically mount new
devices, udiskie was previously told not to automount. The change in
behavior is to closer match the default options.
This option gathers basic Vim options into a single place. The idea is
to allow many options without making the Home Manager documentation
too verbose.
This also deprecates the options `programs.vim.lineNumbers` and
`programs.vim.tabSize`.
Fixes#69.
The intention is for the `xsession.windowManager` option to be
available for full modules in the future. The option
`xsession.windowManager.command` should now be used to specify the
window manager startup command.
Same motivation as in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/28378.
zsh.initExtra parameter can be used by external modules which can
redefine user aliases. This change will give user-defined aliases
