releases reorganization

[Alon Bar-Lev]

Hello Mike,

I think that we should split the nightly between two:

1. nightly stable - the next z stream candidate.
2. nightly next - the next minor candidate.

This will enable user to fetch pre-releases of z streams easily when setting up nightly repository. Currently as all going into same directory, having nightly repository pulls next minor with all its issues.

What do you think?

Alon
