README: update instructions for Nix #23

Closed drupol closed 5 months ago

drupol commented 6 months ago

Hello,

This PR updates the README with instructions for using RABBIT via Nix.

As of now, the NixOS/nixpkgs PR required for integrating RABBIT is still under review. Consequently, the installation instructions leveraging Nix included in this PR cannot be fully correct until the aforementioned PR is merged (the link is broken). This process should take a few days, which is why this PR is currently marked as a draft.

If you're curious about the maintenance of the RABBIT package in Nix:

Maintenance of the RABBIT package within the Nix ecosystem is facilitated by an automated bot, r-ryantm. This bot is responsible for monitoring updates to RABBIT and automatically generating pull requests whenever a new version is released. The monitoring process is supported by Repology, with updates being initiated upon the detection of new tags in the repository, signalling a new version. Subsequently, r-ryantm creates a PR for the update. You can view examples of such PRs here. Following a successful CI build of RABBIT across the four most common architectures, Nix maintainers, myself included, receive notifications to review and, if appropriate, merge the update PR.
