We need to catch the news entry issues sooner. Right now we don't have
any testing around them.

We can now customize a lot more in the gtk module. Test more scenarios
to ensure a user has more control over what gets generated.

When `readOnly` is set to `true` the autostart entries are linked from
a readonly directory in the nix store and `XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart` is
a link to that directory, so that programs cannot install arbitrary
autostart services.
Instead of having to manually stub packages that should not be
downloaded we instead automatically stub all packages (except a small
list of whitelisted ones). Tests can re-introduce the real package by
using the `realPkgs` module argument.
* xdg-mime: allow overrides to shared-mime-info and desktop-file-utils
The `xdg-mime` module now exposes packages to determine what will be run
for update-mime-database and update-desktop-database. This allows users
to select a different version of these packages if the are incompatible.
This should, in combination with an override to the version of
`shared-mime-info` (can be found here notalltim/home-manager-config#4),
resolve#4955, #5102, #4682, and possibly #4941. The problem seems to stem
from a mismatch in the version of `shared-mime-info` with the host.
I also switched from using `buildPackages` to `pkgs` to improve
cross-compilation compatibility.
* xdg-mime: Add tests for xdg-mime module
The xdg-mime module was missing tests so I added basic test for all the
options and checked the basic behavior. It covers ensuring that the
proper files/folders are created and that the package overrides work.
* nix: add options 'nixPath' and 'keepOldNixPath'
By default, the system value for $NIX_PATH is kept as a fallback.
To completely override the system value for $NIX_PATH:
nix.keepOldNixPath = false;
* nix: add more tests
* nix: add a declarative alternative to Nix channels
This adds a new option, 'nix.channels'. It's the Nix channels equivalent
of the 'nix.registry' option, and compatible with pre-Flake Nix tooling
including nix-env and nix-shell. Like 'nix.registry', this option is
useful for pinning Nix channels.
Channels defined in the new option can coexist with channels introduced
through the nix-channel command. If the same channel exists in both, the
one from Home Manager will be prioritized.
* nix: add news entry
* nix: make channels respect use-xdg-base-directories
* nix: remove 'with lib;'

Nixpkgs has recently made a few major changes to its
xdg-desktop-portal package, which silently breaks our module here:
- The NIXOS_XDG_DESKTOP_PORTAL_CONFIG_DIR variable patch has been
removed (in favor of putting portal configurations in /etc or
XDG_CONFIG_HOME).
- A new variable, NIX_XDG_DESKTOP_PORTAL_DIR, was introduced in a
patch to avoid setting XDG_DESKTOP_PORTAL_DIR (which also affected
portal configuration reading, not only portal definitions)
I updated our module to match the changes, but this breakage also made
me revisit this module and look into some improvements.
Long story short, I think it's worth it to make it more similar to the
NixOS one, as it will make behavior more predictable and consistent.
The main change is relying on the upstream linked systemd
unit (instead of using systemd.user.services), and setting the
environment variables globally instead of scoping it to the unit, as
it's a very global thing anyway.
The release notes used to be an appendix in the manual. After
converting to markdown that appendix got lost. This commit
reintroduces the release notes into the manual.
The `nixos-render-docs` tool outputs XHTML formatted content. In
order to convince browsers like `firefox` to treat the data as XHTML
the extension must be `.xhtml` and not `.html`.
Using the XHTML-formatted content as HTML is mainly an issue with
self-closing `<a />` tags.
This will reduce the system closure size by about 200MB under NixOS by
sharing the glibcLocales package.
When home-manager is installed on Linux without the NixOS module, all
glibc locales are installed, as before.
Resolves: #2333
Previously, this module was all-or-nothing with its pre-defined user
dirs. This allows e.g. `xdg.userDirs.desktop = null;` to opt-out of
some configuration while still benefiting from the rest.
This module adds basic support for configuration specializations.
These allow the user to build multiple alternative configurations that
should be part of the same generation.
The conversion from `concatMapStrings` to `concatStringsSep` introduced in https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/2481
creates an unintended behavior change where the formatted config does not end in a newline.[1]
This is problematic for manipulation at the Nix level. In particular, this cause a regression in
the generation of gtk2 settings due to concatenated of the formatted config and `gtk2.extraConfig`
without a newline in between.
This commit restores `concatMapStrings` to match the previous behavior and adds a newline to
the final string for the generated gtk2 config. The test case for gtk2-basic-config
was also updated to check behavior at concatenation boundaries.
