Goal is to improve separation between packages and utilities.
Can help with autocompletion/navigate nixpkgs faster.
Also it will help standardize how LUA_PATH is exported across packages,
so that one can more easily make lua changes across nixpkgs (for
instance changing where lua modules are installed).
* neovim: temporary revert to unbreak user configs
Newly introduced "plugins" parameter is disabled until we get a better
testing infrastructure to minimize breaking changes.
Current nixpkgs always wraps neovim with the "-u" which has sideeffects as explained in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/55376 :
1. vim won't set the variable $MYVIMRC as explained #34215
2. vim skips loading folder-specific .vimrc / .nvimrc
I wanted to provide a way for users to better control what flags are used to wrap neovim. This is achived by introducing wrapNeovimUnstable et neovimUtils, utilities to help with that. We provide a compatibility layer so that wrapNeovim still works and to let us experiment with wrapNeovimUnstable to better control neovim configuration, plugin dependencies, haskell environment etc so that it becomes easier to generate per-project neovim config.
With this commit, it's possible for instance for home-manager to wrap neovim without the `-u` and just write the config in the
expected $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/init.vim .
Expect wrapNeovimUnstable interface to evolve in the upcoming months.
