[request] Add to nixpkgs

[t56k]

Any interest in this being added to nixpkgs for Nix and NixOS?

Would be awesome :)

Having aider available in nixpkgs sounds nice, but it's probably not something I would have time to work on in the near term.

I've made a Nix flake which gets aider up and running in a local devshell--happy to post it if there's interest (or fork the branch or whatever). I don't use Python enough to have an established methodology for repackaging from Pypi (i.e., everything I tried would fail) so this will have to do for now.

@t56k Can't hurt, would you mind?

Not really sure if it's something I'll tackle, but aider has piqued my interest and trying out with a flake might motivate me to package.

I got aider packaged using dream2nix to try it out today. It's not pretty, and definitely not anywhere close to being ready to go into nixpkgs, but it is usable.

Package source in my dotfiles: https://github.com/giodamelio/nixos-configs/blob/main/src/packages/aider.nix

You can also try it quickly via my flake:

$ nix run github:giodamelio/nixos-configs#aider

Another quick alternative, but note that it's just an experiment. I'm somewhat unlikely to update it beyond the current revision of aider v0.35.1-dev. Only tested on x64-64_linux.
