The release checklist said that the published .repo files point at
latest. latest is a link into the newest series, so a file that names
it gives the next series to users of this one as soon as that series
ships. Each file under repos/yum/X.Y/ now names repos/yum/X.Y/, and the
installation check uses the files as published.

The project had no written release process, and the 2.18 and 2.19
releases missed steps: the release table in the documentation, the
docs version, signed tags, and the wiki and website index pages.
A new Releases section describes the branch and version model, the
label and milestone that each pull request needs, and a checklist for
release candidates, publishing, the signed tag, the GitHub release, the
release notes, the website and the announcement. The build hosts, the
signing key and the publish procedure stay in the private repository of
the maintainers.
