bug#68848: bug#68857: gnu: home: dotfiles: Avoid creating extra directory in $HOME.

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi,

Giacomo Leidi <goodoldpaul@autistici.org> skribis:

> The current implementation of the home-dotfiles-service-type contradicts
> the Guix manual (see https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68848 ). This patch
> properly implements both the plain and Stow dotfiles directory layouts.
>
> It does so by refactoring home-dotfiles-configuration adding a new
> packages field to support GNU Stow's users workflow and introducing
> a new layout field to switch between the two directory layouts.
>
> * gnu/home/services/dotfiles (home-dotfiles-configuration): Migrate to
> (gnu services configuration);
> [packages]: new field;
> [layout]: new field;
> (strip-stow-dotfile): new variable;
> (strip-plain-dotfile): new variable;
> (home-dotfiles-configuration->files): use the new fields;
> [directory-contents]: allow for
> selecting a subset of application dotfile directories;
> * doc/guix.texi: document the new layouts.
