The "activation-script" attribute doesn't actually point directly at
the activation script. Renamed the attribute to be more descriptive.

There is no need to specify an out link when switching to a new
generation since nix-build prints the store path on standard output.
Similarly, when just building a generation we specify no out link
since nix-build will use "result" by default.
(cherry picked from commit 2245b0ac94)
Technically not necessary but it was a bit silly to leave out this
important directory from the generation directory. This also makes it
more convenient to browse the installed packages after a
`home-manager build`.

With --ignore-fail-on-non-empty, non-emptiness is the only failure
that gets ignored by rmdir. In the case that rmdir reaches $HOME and
considers deleting it, it will detect insufficient permissions and
subsequently exit with an error, even if $HOME is not empty.
Prevent this by calling rmdir with a relative path that excludes
$HOME.

Run the activation script in its original nix-store location so that
Bash error messages show the real script location instead of 'wrkdir',
which gets deleted right after the script exits.
(cherry picked from commit 02a501705a)
Because 'set -e' has no effect on commands that run in an if condition,
the script was always exiting with no error when 'doBuild' failed.
As a bonus, $wrkdir is now always removed after building.

We must only follow the symbolic link once (i.e., not use the `-e`
option) since otherwise the pattern will not match when
`home.file.xyz.source` is a directory.

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.
(cherry picked from commit 2e257f40e6)
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.
(cherry picked from commit 7a18a0fb34)
The user-defined path will be used if present, otherwise the two
"fallback" defaults (in `.nixpkgs` and `.config/nixpkgs`) will be
used.
(cherry picked from commit 28d3f74614)
The `NIX_PATH` variable is set by the `setHomeManagerModulesPath`
function so it is unnecessary to set it again.

Problem
-------
We resolve symlinks from inside `/nix/store/HASH-home-manager-files`
into the nix store as `/nix/store/HASH-DRVNAME` which does not match
the pattern.
This happened to me because I pull in some repos in via `home.file`.
The `home-manager-files` derivation links to the repo's derivation in
the nix store. For example:
let nanorcs = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "scopatz";
repo = "nanorc";
…
}; in [
{
target = ".nano";
source = nanorcs;
}
{
target = ".nanorc";
source = "${nanorcs}/nanorc";
}
]
Solution
--------
Call `readlink` without `-e` to obtain only the first redirection from
`~` to `/nix/store/HASH-home-manager-files`.
(cherry picked from commit 89dc8c2004)
When a file has disappeared between the previous and the next
generations then its symlink in `$HOME` is typically deleted. With
this commit we refuse to delete the path unless we are reasonably
certain it is a symlink into a Home Manager generation.
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.
This is a module for managing the GNU info directory for the user
profile. See comments at the top of `modules/programs/info.nix` for
further information.
This commit causes an error to be printed if running under a non-Linux
system when a systemd service, target, or timer is active.
It will also prevent running systemd during activation if running
under a non-Linux system.
