[Nix-dev] How does the branching currently work?

Hi,

I'd really like to know how the branching in nixpkgs work.

From what I can see, it works like this:

* PRs are done to master
* On a release, we branch off of master and create a nixos-<version>
  branch
  * Only fixes get applied to this branch
* nixos-unstable is just a specific commit on master which builds
  successfully on hydra

And that's it, isn't it? I mean, that'd be the simplest working
approach IMO, but maybe you guys are doing something else, I don't
know?
