The `optionsDocBook` function is deprecated in nixpkgs since nixos-23.11. This commit updates the manual and manpages to use commonmark formatted documentation instead of the deprecated docbook format.

How do I override the package used by a module?
By default Home Manager will install the package provided by your chosen
nixpkgs
channel but occasionally you might end up needing to change
this package. This can typically be done in two ways.
-
If the module provides a
package
option, such asprograms.beets.package
, then this is the recommended way to perform the override. For example,programs.beets.package = pkgs.beets.override { enableCheck = true; };
-
If no
package
option is available then you can typically override the relevant package using an overlay.For example, if you want to use the
programs.skim
module but use theskim
package from Nixpkgs unstable, then a configuration like{ pkgs, config, ... }: let pkgsUnstable = import <nixpkgs-unstable> {}; in { programs.skim.enable = true; nixpkgs.overlays = [ (self: super: { skim = pkgsUnstable.skim; }) ]; # … }
should work OK.
