Maintaining this repo

1. Get commit rights for https://github.com/erikarvstedt/nix-zig-build and add remote upstream:

   git remote add upstream [email protected]:erikarvstedt/nix-zig-build.git

   Also, always GPG-sign commits:

   ./update.sh --push

   You can also add a NixOS service to auto run the update daily.
   Make sure to check and edit all locations marked by FIXME:.
