Package for NixOS

[sakshatshinde]

Consider packaging this for NixOS https://pavluk.org/blog/2023/05/30/nix_packaging.html

I can look at it later, but you can send a PR meanwhile, that would be great :pray:

[sakshatshinde]

I've never packaged any software (might take a shot at it) in the meantime ~ if anyone wants they can have a go at it https://nix.dev/tutorials/packaging-existing-software.html

@sakshatshinde Is #21 what you had in mind?

@Samuel-Martineau great job, a flake is really good. In the future can also be upstream as only some little modifications are needed

[Samuel-Martineau]

@alexandru0-dev I was thinking of submitting a nixpkgs PR in the the next few weeks. I started with a flake because adding new packages to nixpkgs can be a very slow process.

[alexandru0-dev]

@Samuel-Martineau ik, fully agree. Also a flake let's you be at git version vs a release which nix (most of the time) uses

@Samuel-Martineau Thanks for packaging this! If you make a PR I can help merge bluetui into nixpkgs. Make sure to follow the format in the nixpkgs manual.

• Set meta.mainProgram to "bluetui"
• Replace repo = pname; with repo = "bluetui";
• Set meta.platforms to lib.platforms.linux
