Add flake; #112

Open joergdw opened 8 months ago

This PR adds a flake that provides both, a package-definition for this cli and a direnv-environment suitable for development on this repository.

Out of scope:

PR-validation against the Nix-package-definition
Automation to update the vendorHash (could be done with https://github.com/ryantm/nixpkgs-update which is available on nixpkgs or with https://github.com/Mic92/nix-update and https://github.com/marketplace/actions/nix-update-action or with niv. Other inspirations: https://github.com/msteen/nix-prefetch

Edit: ⚠️ It looks like go-definitions are not that easy for some reason: https://www.tweag.io/blog/2021-03-04-gomod2nix/ (good source!)

Perhaps we should convert the Out of scope section into an issue.

Getting auto-updates to work looks not so easy. The used tool expects the package to update to be reachable via an URL and not via a local path.

Possibilities to continue:

https://xeiaso.net/blog/nix-flakes-go-programs or https://github.com/nix-community/gomod2nix and automate that via github-actions
Take inspiration from https://github.com/argoproj/argo-workflows/issues/11691.
