Script that extracts the revisions from a channels nixos/svn_revision
file and create tags in nixos/nixpkgs repos (subdir of current dir):

https://github.com/chaoflow/skel/blob/master/bin/create_tags_from_nixos_channel.sh


I use it:

% sudo -H nix-channel --update
% cd dev/nixos
% (cd nixos && git pull --rebase)
% (cd nixpkgs && git pull --rebase)
% create_tags_from_nixos_channel.sh


dev/nixos contains nixos and nixpkgs as subdirs

% ls -l dev/nixos
total 8K
drwxr-xr-x 9 cfl cfl 4096 Jul 15 07:02 nixos/
drwxr-xr-x 6 cfl cfl 4096 Jul 15 04:01 nixpkgs/
