This branch adds a simple nix-env configuration for building the proxy locally on NixOS. This does *not* yet introduce a derivation for *packaging* the proxy as a Nix package, just a nix-env for local development for Nix users. Actually packaging the proxy for Nix could be fun, but it's not really necessary, since the proxy is not currently distributed as a package for other package managers --- it's distributed as a docker image. If we were going to actually distribute something as a Nix package, it would be the Linkerd CLI (which could be worth doing!). This branch *does* include the necessary configuration to build `cloudflare/boring`, which is added as a dependency by @olix0r's PR #1351. I've confirmed that it is possible to build that branch with these configs, but I opened this as a separate PR against `main` so that we can merge it separately. Currently, we do have to build `boringssl` from source, rather than depending on it from nixpkgs, which is kind of a bummer, but this can be fixed later.

this is a nix shell for use in development work on linkerd. a hefty tip of the hat to @hawkw for authoring much of this shell originally in linkerd/linkerd2-proxy#1354. 💜💐 see: * https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2/ * https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2-proxy/ Co-authored-by: Eliza Weisman <eliza@elizas.website> Signed-off-by: katelyn martin <me+cratelyn@katelyn.world>
