Import from derivation with nmd

[kloenk]

home-manager imports nmd for manual usage, wich breaks hydra support because nmd uses import from derivation

[kloenk]

I'm not sure how nmd is working. Maby this can be fixed with the new recursive nix feature? This would help me to reenable docs for home-manager

This problem makes it hard to install a configuration with home-manager straight from the installer (maybe only a flake? haven't tried otherwise):

(sorry for the screenshot, taken from a VM console).

I have the same problem, I've found that if I set

{
  home-manager.users.NAME.manual.manpages.enable = false;
}

for all users, it works. This may be a bit easier than a patch.

With the latest changes merged into the main branch, it is now possible to do

{
  home-manager.sharedModules = [ { manual.manpages.enable = false; } ];
}

instead of setting the option for each user.

Still relevant I think @rycee?

🎉 The IFD is removed in 64ab7d6. I just successfully built home-manager master as a nixos module with allow-import-from-derivation false.
