I don't think it needs to be as often as "once per day" as I doubt
the RPMs will be updated that frequently. It would however be good
to have a known good point to base Fedora RPMs on. This is beneficial
to the AArch32 project as well, as it is then clear what is being used
by these binaries out in the wild.

Thanks,
