As Karanbir announced it today, there will be "nightly builds" happening every day, starting from today (the first one being scheduled to start at 8PM UTC). The whole process will be automated and would also start to reflect those new trees. That means that the url to enter for new network install, and yum repositories will need to be using the 'latest' symlink when that one will appear. (Normally full URL would be http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64-latest)
It would be nice to have "-latest" URL ready for announcement purposes, so others know it will exist.
latest is something we want to do - its been spokean about as well, but remember we are replacing rpms without a bump in Epoc:Version-Release, so there is no way for yum etc to know that something has changed under it.
hence, the only real testing path is to reinstall and re-evaluate newer releases.

I want to point out here for those who think this might look chaotic ... this process is very similar to what we have done only with our private QA team in the past.
We would do these temporary tree pushes, etc. to the QA team and they would test, find issues, post the issues to bugs or the QA mailing list and we would fix. We have opened this up totally to the public to make the test group larger and hopefully find and fix issues faster, etc.
However, the packages released here are going to do things LIKE ... be replaced with different builds that are newer with exactly the same EVR strings, etc. We may do other crazy things too.
The bottom line is that these packages should ABSOLUTELY NOT be used on anything that is even slightly important .. although, you may be able to point to a newer repo and do something like "yum distro-sync full" to get all the new packages.
That said, be careful with these packages and don't keep/use them except for this testing. Once we get a stabilized tree and that is released, then we can use that for real production things :)
That is understood, at least by me.
The reason I asked for this was that Youtube video emerged for people to test C7 and Fabian posted message about "latest", so since I already posted his message on Facebook and Google+ as a comment to Youtube Install video, it would be nice to have (by tomorrow?) "latest" pointing to last/only build so people do not start asking too many questions why it is missing.
And I will make sure to warn them about non-production, even tho I do not think that will be the problem since those who want to try it only want to look at it.
