Nix buildVimPlugin compatibility & support

[Anderssorby]

I've tried a simple nix flake setup for this plugin, but I guess I'm missing some dependencies:
In https://github.com/Anderssorby/lean.nvim/tree/acs/add-nix-flake running nix build

Is there what more to do in this repo after that PR in the nixpkgs repo? Or given that it's now merged are you saying we should close this ticket?

[Julian]

Going to close since I assume that was the implication above but if that's not the case and there's something left to be done let me know!

[Anderssorby]

@Julian There is more to be done since that PR didn't solve the problem right away. I'm also using a different function to build the vim plugin which doesn't read the dependencies attribute apparently. I've not looked at this too much yet.

[Julian]

Got it. OK, and the request here is basically to add a nix flake to the repo?

[Anderssorby]

Yes, so I can load it into my env without having to wait for nixpkgs.

[Julian]

Assuming this is even still relevant (given it seems nixpkgs stays relatively up to date with the repo here from what I can tell), and given I don't personally know how to do this or have access to a nixOS machine anymore, going to close this, but if you or anyone is still interested a PR to do whatever is needed is definitely fine with me.
