Comment (by ktdreyer):
I remember looking briefly at this a while back, since I thought it would be really useful for RPM Fusion too. I think currently kwizart just maintains the rpmfusion-free-release and rpmfusion-nonfree-release symlinks by hand there.
At the time, I remember thinking that mash might be a good place to build this capability? Maybe a new config option for mash, like
{{{ symlink-latest = epel-release }}}
And then mash would look at that package, figure out the latest version, and build the "latest" symlink.
Would that be the correct direction to go?
