Pull request overview
This PR adds Nix flake support to the proserver-cli tool, providing an alternative installation method alongside the existing Homebrew installation. The flake enables users to run the CLI tool directly from GitHub using nix run.
Changes:
- Added flake.nix with package definitions and overlay
- Added flake.lock with locked dependency versions
- Updated README.md with Nix installation instructions
- Added result to .gitignore (Nix build output)

This package has multiple critical issues:
-
Missing vpro symlink: The Homebrew formula creates a vpro symlink to the proserver script (as shown in Formula/proserver-cli.rb:12), but this Nix package doesn't provide it. Users who expect the vpro command based on README examples will be unable to use it.
-
Missing runtime dependencies: The proserver script depends on external commands like dig, curl, grep, ssh, and scp, but these dependencies are not declared. The script will fail at runtime if these tools are not available in the user's PATH.
Consider using a proper derivation with makeWrapper to add both the vpro symlink and ensure all runtime dependencies are available on PATH.
