|
||
All Home Manager modules are now loaded on all platforms. With this
|
||
change you will get a more descriptive error message if you attempt to
|
||
enable a module that is incompatible with the host platform.
|
||
</p><p class="simpara">Previously, modules that were platform specific would only be loaded
|
||
on that particular platform. For example, a module defining a
|
||
<a class="link" href="https://systemd.io/" target="_top">systemd</a> service would only be loaded when the
|
||
host platform was Linux. This reduced evaluation times, simplified the
|
||
generated documentation, and made it impossible to accidentally use
|
||
modules that do not support the host platform.</p><p class="simpara">While the above benefits are quite nice, avoiding module loads also
|
||
brings a few problems. For example, the
|
||
<a class="link" href="https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/" target="_top">public documentation</a>
|
||
will only show the options available for Linux hosts and the
|
||
documentation cannot make references to options within modules that
|
||
are unavailable on some hosts. Finally, users who wish to use the same
|
||
configuration file for different platforms cannot do so, even if the
|
||
platform incompatible options are unused.</p><p class="simpara">Ultimately, the benefits of loading all modules won and the behavior
|
||
has now changed. For associated discussion see
|
||
<a class="link" href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/1906" target="_top">issue #1906</a>.</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="sec-release-21.11-state-version-changes"></a>E.1.2.
