This PR supercedes #226. So far application bundles were always linked to `~/Applications` or `~/Applications/Nix Apps` if the former was an existing directory. In nix-community/home-manager#1341 a conflict was found with suggested new Home Manager behavior, where applications installed through Home Manager would end up in `~/Applications/Home Manager Apps`. This was in an attempt to make them discoverable through Spotlight but further investigation suggest Spotlight does not pick up symlinked apps (details in the issue). However, there are other programs that expect to be able to write to `~/Applications` so taking over the directory is unfortunate. PR #226 dropped linking `~/Applications` and instead made sure the directory exists so we can always link in `~/Applications/Nix Apps`. After further discussion in #macos:nixos.org we came to the conclusion that we shouldn't link applications to a user directory at all. Since we manage packages for multiple users, application bundles should go in `/Applications`. Because previous code will likely leave a symlink at `~/Applications/{,Nix Apps}`, which will become dangling once the path it links to is garbage collected from the store we test to see if a link exists and it conforms to the path we're expecting and if it does remove it. |
