How do you intend to keep this up-to-date?

For now it's manual, but an updater script would be nice

What about using Niv?
I don't know if it is relevant but we could also use Niv to fetch NixOS releases which seem to be fetched by the CI. Correct me if I'm wrong.

yeah niv could work but the hard part is mostly around CI. make a cron-like job that updates and pushes updates if it works. Mic92 already did something like that for NUR so I might steal that.

Also have this project for automated updates:

Setting up secrets is sometimes a hassle in travis, when you mix up travis.org and travis.com keys.
This allows us to easily update it by running `niv update`.
