NixOS Support

[devindudeman]

Hello there,

Any chance you could add Goose to the nix package manager?

Thank you!

[michaelneale]

@devindudeman so you can install it with nix? It isn't in any package managers yet, but that would be cool

[devindudeman]

Yeah I'd love it available here!

As more developers move towards declarative package management, having Goose available as a Nix package would allow seamless integration into NixOS configurations and home-manager setups.

I can take this

[suderman]

I found this and it works on my NixOS.

[amackillop]

Nice probably just have to port that over to nixpkgs

[suderman]

Something like it anyway. I am not experienced with Rust but can see his nix package is fetching a cargo lock file from his own URL. I guess because the lock file is not included in the goose repo? I noticed this when trying to bump up to the next version.

[amackillop]

I did find it odd that there is no Cargo.lock as typically it is included for application/binary projects and excluded for libraries.
