20:41 <Ptivalternative> hello #home-manager, with the recent changes to master, is `programs.fish.enable` no longer supported, in favor of putting `fish` in `programs`?

20:49 <__monty__> Ptivalternative: I think that was already fixed? If not it's definitely in the works.

20:50 <Ptivalternative> the `programs` part works, but if you let `programs.fish.enable` in your configuration, you get a pretty bad and confusing error (at least I do: it complains about foreign-env even though your configuration never mentions it)

20:52 <__monty__> Yes, I know. It was fixed here https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/1703

20:52 <{^_^}> nix-community/home-manager#1703 (by meck, 1 week ago, merged): fish: Fix regression due to changes in nixpkgs.

21:00 <energizer> I have home-manager.backupFileExtension set but it doesn't seem to be working https://bpa.st/M3NA any ideas?

21:03 superherointj has joined #home-manager

21:04 <__monty__> Can't find that option in the manual.

21:06 <energizer> it's not documented

21:09 <__monty__> Looks like it's only an option for the nix-darwin module?

21:09 <__monty__> Maybe try setting HOME_MANAGER_BACKUP_EXT?

21:13 <energizer> it's also an option on the nixos module

21:14 <energizer> including the generated unit file https://bpa.st/FACQ

21:16 <__monty__> Ah, your usual github search being terrible.

21:32 superherointj_ has joined #home-manager

21:40 <superherointj> Hello. I've built a module for HexChat but I need help to figure out how I should be handling a config file that needs be overwritten. I'd appreciate if someone could volunteer to test the HexChat module. I need feedback. https://github.com/superherointj/home-manager/commit/5791a381791f0320ae38f431593e7fe9fcd6fdbe

21:42 <superherointj> I'm aware the theme could have been a derivation instead of being handled as string. I plan handling this later. It is already working. I only need to figure out how I can replace the hexchat.conf that gets overwritten by HexChat everytime it is closed.

21:45 <rycee> superherointj: You could try adding `force = true;` to the file attribute set.

21:46 <rycee> I.e., `xdg.configFile."hexchat/hexchat.conf" = { text = …; force = true; }`

21:46 <superherointj_> rycee, thanks for answering. I really appreciate.

21:46 <rycee> Force is not documented since it will cause the target to be silently overwritten, use with care.

21:50 <rycee> superherointj_: If you intend to make a PR for your hexchat module you should read https://rycee.gitlab.io/home-manager/#sec-guidelines-valuable-options first. This module seems like a good candidate for a `settings`-like option.

21:52 <superherointj> rycee, I am aware I should use the least amount of options possible. The tricky part is that I had to recreate the hexchat.conf file as default. So it had to have that long list of default values.

21:56 <superherointj> I'll read the suggested article. I expect HexChat module to become a good candidate for a PR.

22:01 <superherointj> I'll put more thought into minimizing the hexchat.conf, not including fields, and seeing how HexChat handles it.

22:16 superherointj has quit [Client Quit]

22:24 <superherointj__> rycee, force has worked just fine. I have removed all default options. HexChat seems to be handling it well. If you have any further suggestion I'd appreciate it.

22:27 <superherointj__> The themes part is what I am still thinking about what I should be doing (make it more derivation compatible). All the themes listed there are from upstream. But custom themes is unavailable.

22:32 <rycee> I wouldn't want the themes in the HM repo. They should go in some package repository like Nixpkgs, a NUR, or a flake. I'm trying to avoid HM turning into a package repository so I'm pretty strict about that.

22:39 <rycee> superherointj__: So you could define the themes as simple packages that you could assign to the `theme` option.

22:39 mudri has joined #home-manager

22:39 <rycee> That would also allow other users to define their own themes.
