Please provide aarch64 binaries in the releases

Thanks a lot for creating nixsa. It is an amazing tool that solves several of my problems with nix-portable. With v0.1.2 (have to try the newly released v0.1.3), I have been able to use home-manager (standalone flake) by spawing a bash subshell and running nixsa within it like so:

if ! [ -x "$(command -v nixsa)" ] && [ -x "$HOME/nixsa/bin/nixsa" ]; then
  if [[ $SHLVL -eq 1 ]]; then
    command bash
  else
    exec "$HOME/nixsa/bin/nixsa"
  fi
fi

After that every nix command works as usual. It is working on my x86 laptop and HPC clusters where I have only unpriveleged access as a normal user. However, can you also provide aarch64 binaries so that I can enjoy nixsa on an ARM v8 neoverse A64fx HPC?

Hi, thanks for the good words! I added an ARM release for 0.1.3.

(It requires some work, since currently GitHub actions doesn't provide free ARM workers)

Thank you for providing ARM binary.
