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.
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.
Fixes the error
error: syntax error, unexpected $undefined, expecting IND_STR or
DOLLAR_CURLY or IND_STRING_CLOSE, at
.../home-manager/modules/programs/home-manager.nix:70:47
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
If the `home-manager` module is enabled then check if the
`home-manager` package is installed using `nix-env -i` and if so then
it is automatically uninstalled before the new package environment,
which includes home-manager, is installed.
This module is a module to install and configure the home-manager
tool. By managing the home-manager tool through the Home Manager
module system it will be installed/updated on configuration
activation.
