Currently activation is run with `sudo -i` this defaults to the user's
login shell. This can lead to problems if the user's shell isn't set
properly.
By passing `-s` rather than `-i`, `sudo` runs `activate` in `SHELL`
instead. We assume that at this point in the activation `SHELL`
contains the path to a bash in the nix store. This should always be a
valid shell to run the `activate` script with.
From the `sudo` manual it seems like this cannot be fixed if `SHELL`
isn't set at this point or by passing a command to `-s` because that
command is then passed to the user's shell.

Since Rofi 1.7.1 (specifically davatorium/rofi@0e70d8a), the deprecated
`theme` option in the `configuration` section no longer works. For 1.7.0
and up, `@theme "name"` is supposed to be used *after* the
`configuration` block.

Two misplaced quotations were introduced in `doBuild` by https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/2501, which
caused the parameter expansion of DRY_RUN to include an extraneous tab. Since the flake uri is passed
later into the command, Nix assumes the whitespace sequence as the flake uri and returns that it is not
a valid flake reference.
This PR removes the misplaced quotations in `doBuild` and also places the flake uri as the first argument for
calls to `doBuildFlake` for consistency with `doBuildAttr`. Placing the uri first in the command line also guards
against possible security issues if arbitrary uris are expanded prior to the user given uri.
(cherry picked from commit 9de77227d7)
Currently, the `buildNews` and `doBuildAttrs` are always called
unconditionally even if a flake configuration is specified. This cause
it to always fail prior to the actual build performed by `doBuildAttrs`
because `setConfigFIle` can not find the home-manager configuration file.
As a result, an error message specifying no configuration file is shown.
Furthermore, if a user has remnant legacy configuration, the `doSwitch` and
`doBuild` functions will effectively build the activationPackage twice, with
the legacy configuration overriding the flake configuration.
A conditional check for FLAKE_CONFIG_URI was added to mitigate this by building
the legacy configuration when no flake configuration is present. There is one
exception which is when a flake configuration exists in the default location, where
the user can not build the legacy configuration as along as the file is present.
However, the tradeoff is acceptable as it matches current behavior when FLAKe_CONFIG_URI
is set for instantiation, and an user is unlikely to simulataneously switch
between the two mechanisms.
An abstract function for building flakes `doBuildFlake` was created to match
`doBuildAttrs` for manageing options and build flags.
The --no-write-lock-file flag was removed from the --debug case as it is already
matched previously at the --recreate-lock-file case.
Home Manager can be ran with
`nix run --no-write-lock-file github:nix-community/home-manager`.
This is useful for people who want to try out Home Manager or,
want to bootstrap their home-environment.
Swaynag is a replacement of i3-nag for sway. Swaynag is embedded in
Sway's build process albeit it is not an integral part of Sway,
therefore it has been added under `wayland.windowManager.sway` instead
of `programs`. It can be moved at a later time if necessary.
Two unit tests were added validate the module behavior for an empty
configuration and the example configuration.
Nixpkgs switched to OfflineIMAP version 8 which means that Python 3 is
now used instead of Python 2. As a result, get_pass() now returns a
byte array instead of a string and the argument to get_pass() must be
a byte array too. See
https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/issues/103.
