Reorganizes Omarchy 4 around three layers for populating $HOME:
Seed: omarchy-settings ships defaults to /etc/skel; useradd -m
copies them on user creation
Finalize: omarchy-finalize-user (renamed from omarchy-setup-user)
handles only the runtime tweaks /etc/skel can't do — skill
symlinks, xdg-user-dirs, default browser/mailto, vconsole→hypr
keyboard sync, and install/user/all.sh
Resync: omarchy-reinstall-configs is the explicit, destructive
resync of /etc/skel into an existing user's $HOME
Package-owned files move out of config/ into default/, where the
omarchy-settings PKGBUILD installs them to real system paths:
config/environment.d/fcitx.conf -> /usr/lib/environment.d/
config/fontconfig/fonts.conf -> /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/
config/mimeapps.list -> /usr/share/applications/
config/omarchy.ttf -> /usr/share/fonts/omarchy/
config/systemd/user/*.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/user/
config/uwsm/default -> /usr/share/omarchy/default/uwsm/
config/uwsm/env -> /usr/share/uwsm/env.d/10-omarchy
config/xdg-terminals.list -> /usr/share/xdg-terminal-exec/
omarchy-upgrade-to-4 grows a 'retire' action (renamed from 'move' to
clarify nothing is copied — the system path is owned by the new package
once the user's hash-matched ~/.config copy is removed). Mismatched
copies are kept as backups so user overrides survive the upgrade.
Other simplifications:
- Single env bootstrap at default/bash/env-bootstrap sourced by
/etc/profile.d/omarchy.sh, /etc/skel/.bashrc,
/usr/share/uwsm/env.d/10-omarchy, and default/bash/envs. PATH
prepend only in dev-link mode (production uses /usr/bin/omarchy-*).
- omarchy-refresh-config reads from /etc/skel/.config so refresh
means 'snap to skel'.
- omarchy-reinstall-configs collapses to 'cp -af /etc/skel/. ~/'
plus limine/plymouth/nvim refresh.
- omarchy-font-set uses awk against our own 30-omarchy.conf instead
of xmlstarlet; xmlstarlet dropped from omarchy-base.packages.
- Defer user systemd enables (bt-agent, sleep-lock,
recover-internal-monitor) to first-run via
install/user/first-run/enable-user-units.sh; delete
omarchy-user-systemctl-enable and the per-hardware install
scripts that called it.
- Wireplumber bluetooth-a2dp-autoconnect.conf moves to config/ so
/etc/skel ships it; install/user/hardware/bluetooth.sh deleted.
- Default terminal switched to foot.desktop.
- docs/file-layout.md documents the three-layer model and the
build-time repo→path map.
Remove legacy online installer entrypoints, collapse migrations for 4.0, and move setup responsibilities into target-side system, hardware, and user commands.
The package-installed paths live at /usr/share/omarchy; the script-install
paths live at ~/.local/share/omarchy. $OMARCHY_PATH is set by install.sh
during the install flow and by /etc/profile.d/omarchy.sh in package mode.
Scripts that hard-code the script-install path don't honour that and will
misbehave once shipped to /usr/bin.
16 files migrated via sed s|~/\.local/share/omarchy|$OMARCHY_PATH|g
and s|$HOME/\.local/share/omarchy|$OMARCHY_PATH|g:
bin/:
- omarchy-plymouth-{preview,reset,set}
- omarchy-refresh-{limine,plymouth}
- omarchy-reinstall-configs
- omarchy-show-logo
- omarchy-games-retro-install
- omarchy-install-gaming-battlenet
install/:
- config/branding.sh
- packaging/{fonts,icons}.sh
- post-install/{finished,pacman}.sh
- preflight/{migrations,pacman}.sh
Deliberately NOT migrated:
- bin/omarchy-dev-add-migration: uses 'cd ~/.local/share/omarchy' to
resolve a git repo for 'git log'. The packaged binary doesn't have a
git repo to read; this command only makes sense in dev mode where
the home path is the right one.
- bin/omarchy-install-browser:69: writes a string into a chromium
config file that chromium itself interprets; not a bash-resolved path.
- install/helpers/errors.sh:125: the boot.sh-style relaunch behaviour
needs a separate redesign.
