bun

As discussed in the discord, this PR adds experimental Nix support via a default.nix file and a small note in the README. While this is great and all, it still leaves many unanswered questions:

• Should we be building from source instead? (Currently unfeasible for multiple reasons, but good long term)
• How should we handle updating versions?
  • Should we just use the latest version at all times?
  • ~~Should use/update check-sums?~~ As mentioned in the discord by @Jarred-Sumner

    There have been a couple cases where I had to re-upload the version after some build issue so it might make sense to forgo the checksum for now

  • Should we dynamically update the default.zig file upon each new release with the Makefile?
• Should we provide more detailed instructions on how to install with Nix?
• When is the right time to submit to nixpkgs?
• How should we handle configuring Bun's cache directory?

and the list goes on.

There are definitely a few things that should be fixed here, this is a decent starting point to build upon.

I think the main benefit of nix in this repo would be pulling in any missing dependencies in a nix dev shell

If we also want a package, copying the PR would be good. A source build is an option for the future.

As a note nixpkgs could never fetch nix files from this repo to add the package (that would be IFD (Import From Derivation))

For a reference of another project that offers a package/overlay neovim has some nix stuff in the contrib folder

I have created a flake for getting the Bun binary here: bun-flake. Feel free to steal it :smile:

Ty, just stole your code and added a bump script in our overlay

Every day at 6am it will verify automagically for new versions and bump

Hey! Just wanting to bump this and to see if there's been any headway in being able to openly support nix builds using flakes? I would attempt it myself, but I'm not experienced enough with nixos as yet

I can see that the package is available on search.nixos.org. But only from version 0.6.2 and not as a flake

We have bun packaged in binary form in our community overlay

It's updated every night

I was kind of confused about the whole discussion as it's not a release that stems from the oven-sh organisation. So I wasn't sure if that was an official package. On top of that, I'm very new to nix and so I was trying to figure out how to install the latest version of it.

I forgot to document on here, but I was able to install the latest version of bun using unstable-nix.pkg and not just nixpkg.

An example of my configuration.nix in case anyone else is still getting their bearings
