you can now enjoy reproducible builds with ros thanks to the power of nix. this is still very much a wip and you may experience unexpected catastrophic failures while using this feature. documentation coming soon.
default.nix and overlay.nix should be specified in the project directory; these configurations will be managed automatically by arcturus_nix

Enjoy reproducible builds with ROS thanks to the power of Nix (see http://download.ros.org/downloads/roscon/2022/Better%20ROS%20Builds%20with%20Nix.pdf for the latest research). This is
still very much a WIPcompletely flawless and you may experienceunexpected catastrophic failuresNixOS impostor syndrome while using this feature.Note that this PR only adds basic packaging infrastructure so ROS package.xml declarations can be restated as Nix package files. This can drastically improve build times (if using Nix) and standardizes dependency specifications. Note that this does not actually pin dependencies to specific versions, but it does allow integration with a project-wide Nix build system that does (development of this system is still in progress, but the vision of true native reproducibility with complete and verifiable package declarations will eventually be realized).
This PR does not enforce the use of Nix or even provide the infrastructure to build this project (just the instructions for the Nix package manager to do so). If you're looking to test drive the Nix setup, take a look at some of the latest commits in https://github.com/ArcturusNavigation/arcturus_nix (look at branches other than main for now).
