It was previously possible to create the news information and lose it
in a Nix GC before being able to view it. This also causes a switch to
error out. This change makes the news information a root in the
garbage collector.
Note, this change also removes the need for `nix eval` so the
`doBuildAttr` function is simplified accordingly.
Fixes#327
Home Manager needs an absolute and resolved path to its configuration
file. The default configuration path is absolute but not necessarily
resolved. For example, some users may have `~/.config` be a symbolic
link to somewhere else. We therefore run the default configuration
path through the `realpath` tool to resolve it.
Fixes#304
This adds an experimantal, undocumented, and unsupported flag `-2` for
the `home-manager` command that enables the use of the new `nix`
command instead of `nix-build`.
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.

By default, i3-msg gets socket from X11 property
which is not available when home manager is running
as nixos module.
This patch changes i3-msg command call by specifying
all i3 sockets found in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/i3 folder.
Fixes#252.
This removes the need for monolithic unit definitions and allows
users to modify existing units.
Example:
```
{
systemd.user.services.owncloud-client.Unit.OnFailure = "my-notify-service";
}
```
Unfortunately this duplicates some code from NixOS but it does allow
much more flexibility and, hopefully, stability in the Home Manager
documentation.
Fixes#254.
