The git-era flow installed Omarchy to ~/.local/share/omarchy. In the
package-based flow it lives at /usr/share/omarchy (or, in dev mode, at
the path /etc/omarchy.conf's OMARCHY_PATH points at). Files that hard-
coded the old path broke on package installs:
- default/bash/rc: sourced ~/.local/share/omarchy/default/bash/*, so a
fresh user's terminal logged ENOENT for every line. Now sources from
$OMARCHY_PATH with /usr/share/omarchy as the safe default if the var
is unset.
- config/systemd/user/omarchy-recover-internal-monitor.service:
ExecStart pointed at %h/.local/share/omarchy/bin/. The script ships
to /usr/bin via the omarchy-installer package; point straight there.
- install/config/xcompose.sh: wrote an XCompose include line pointing
at the user-home path; use /usr/share/omarchy/ directly.
- default/hypr/paths.lua and config/hypr/hyprland.lua: fallback when
OMARCHY_PATH is unset is /usr/share/omarchy, not the home path.
Dev-only scripts (omarchy-dev-add-migration, omarchy-reinstall-git) and
the SKILL.md docs still reference the old path; those are separate
cleanups since they don't affect a fresh install's runtime.
A pass over the install scripts, dev-tools commands, and Hyprland Lua
files that I had stuffed with explain-everything preambles. Most of
those rationales (which files ship where, why hyprctl setenv doesn't
suffice, etc.) belong in commit messages or PR descriptions, not in
code people have to read forever. Kept the few comments that document
genuinely non-obvious behaviour: the keybind-env reason for hl.env in
envs.lua, why the runtime PAM seds stay scripted in
increase-lockout-limit, the chroot/--now distinction in chroot.sh, and
the dev-pkg-test split-install reason.
Two related fixes for omarchy-dev-link to actually affect Hyprland keybinds:
default/hypr/paths.lua: prefer /etc/omarchy.conf over the process env.
hyprctl setenv updates Hyprland's process env, but the user-reported case
shows it doesn't reach bind-exec dispatchers because their env is
captured at config-load time. Reading the dev-link conf directly means
paths.omarchy_path is correct on every hyprctl reload regardless of
whether the launching Hyprland session re-read its env.
default/hypr/envs.lua: explicitly hl.env("OMARCHY_PATH", ...) and
hl.env("PATH", "$OMARCHY_PATH/bin:$PATH") so keybind dispatchers (and
everything else spawned by Hyprland) inherit the dev-link values. PATH
is built with a dedup pass so reloads don't accumulate the bin/ prefix.
Tested locally: paths.lua reads /etc/omarchy.conf correctly; lua syntax
of both files validates with luac -p.
