Robert Helgesson	9ec9f004e1	home-manager: use nix-env to list generations ... Using the `nix-env` command is far more robust. It also has the benefit that if the per-user `profiles` and `gcroots` directories do not exist then they will be created with the correct permissions. Because of the second point this commit also removes the `mkdir` step of the installation instructions. PR #1239 Closes #474, #948, #1091	2020-05-16 19:17:13 +02:00

Robert Helgesson	0aa549f07b	home-manager: support .config configuration path ... This commit changes the default path of the Home Manager configuration file from `~/.nixpkgs/home.nix` to `~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix`.

A file will only be replaced if it is a link pointing to a home-manager tree inside the Nix store. If an existing file is detected an error is written indicating the file's path and the activation will terminate before any mutation occurs. Fixes #6	2017-05-06 13:01:01 +02:00
