[winswitch] CentOS 6.6 - No package winswitch available

In CentOS 6.6, with winswitch.repo installed, the command
sudo yum install winswitch
produces the error message in the subject line:
Setting up Install Process
No package winswitch available.
Error: Nothing to do
I'm stuck.
I looked at the online repository mentioned in the
file named /etc/yum.repos.d/winswitch.repo, at
http://winswitch.org/dists/CentOS/6.6/x86_64/
It contains no files named like "winswitch*rpm".
So maybe the error message is just telling the truth.
In contrast, the repository provided for CentOS 6.5 includes
winswitch-0.12.20-1.x86_64.rpm
I didn't grab that one, because I'm nervous
about using an RPM for a different OS version.
(I'm interested in winswitch precisely because
I am not an expert with CentOS.)
Looking forward in time, it seems like there is no
winswitch*rpm file in any CentOS repo newer than 6.5.
So even if I upgrade to CentOS 7 Server, I anticipate
having the same problem.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help/suggestions you can provide.
