I've establish a cron job on my server to generate gzip and xz
squashed snapshots. I sync distfiles from utwente at 6:05 and generate
the squashfs at 6:35 after verifying the gpg signatures.
There's a 10,5h lag between snapshots and squashfs files - we could
improve if I'm allowed to sync against master rsync/dinstfiles.
