When a configuration file would be written to an existing file, rather
than failing switch (and having the user have to move or delete those
files), move the files automatically to a new path.
Closes#585
This fixes a build error occurring when building a configuration
having fontconfig enabled and `home.packages` only containing one
package installing things to `/lib`.
Also adds a number of test cases to verify the fontconfig cache
generation functionality.
Fixes#703
Also deprecates the `fonts.fontconfig.enableProfileFonts` option. The
configuration is now always generated if `fonts.fontconfig.enable` is
set.
Fixes#520
Unfortunately, using `attrsOf` is not possible since it results in too
eager evaluation. In particular, the
home.sessionVariables = {
FOO = "Hello";
BAR = "${config.home.sessionVariables.FOO} World!";
};
example will cause an infinite recursion.
This commit restores the option type of
- `home.sessionVariables`,
- `pam.sessionVariables`,
- `programs.bash.sessionVariables`, and
- `programs.zsh.sessionVariables`
to `attrs`. It also adds test cases for the above options to avoid
regressions.
Fixes#659
This should allow more sensible merging behavior. In particular, with
this change it is possible to use, for example, `mkForce` for greater
control of merging.
Fixes#543
When using the NixOS module we cannot guarantee that the Nix store
will be writable during startup. Installing the user packages through
`nix-env -i` will fail in these cases.
This commit adds a NixOS option `home-manager.useUserPackages` that,
when enabled, installs user packages through the NixOS
users.users.<name?>.packages
option.
Note, when submodule support and external package install is enabled
then the installed packages are not available in `~/.nix-profile`. We
therefore set `home.profileDirectory` directly to the HM profile
packages.
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.
On non-x86 architectures (for example, aarch64) the installation of
home-manager fails indicating that it is attempting to select i686
packages for Linux and those aren't available.
Solution: make the condition for choosing these packages stricter
