* Add flake.lock and clean up flake.nix
Add a lockfile to work around https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6541
(and because it's a good idea anyway).
Also use flake-utils, and restrict ourselves to the five platforms
supported by nixpkgs. Otherwise, the IFD for nmd fails on weird
platforms. This fixes `nix flake check`.
Remove the redundant `apps` output, see https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/2442#issuecomment-1133670487
* nixos,nix-darwin: factor out into a common module
* nixos,nix-darwin: make `home-managers.users` shallowly visible
Make sure the option is included in the NixOS/nix-darwin manual (but the
HM submodule options aren't).
Also add a static description to the HM submodule type so that we don't need to
evaluate the submodules just to build the option manual. This makes
nixos-search able to index the home-manager flake.
Also clean up some TODOs.
* flake: add nmd and nmt
This avoids having to use `pkgs.fetchFromGitLab` in an IFD, which causes
issues when indexing packages with nixos-search because `pkgs` is
instantiated with every platform.
This adds a new command to the home-manager shell script that allows
generations to be removed that are older than an given absolute or
relative date.
This allows users to manage the expiration of their home-manager
generations separately from their system or user profiles via
nix-collect-garbage. It is most important if the user desires to have
a convenient way to have different expiration times for Home Manager
generations than other system or user profiles.
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
This command allows the user to examine the news items generated by
the news module. See #52.
Many thanks to @nonsequitur and @uvNikita for suggestions and
improvements.
This commit changes the default path of the Home Manager configuration
file from `~/.nixpkgs/home.nix` to `~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix`. The
old path is still supported and will be used if the `.config` path
does not exist.
This aligns Home Manager with the preferred configuration directory in
NixOS 17.03.
Fixes#13.
This removes the old argument based method that Home Manager used to
find its modules by a `NIX_PATH` based method. Specifically, this adds
a `home-manager` Nix path prefix that can be overridden much like with
the `nixpkgs` path prefix.
