distfiles.macports.org updates

[Ryan Schmidt]

How often does distfiles.macports.org get new files? Is it a periodic  
process like portindex, or does it run after every commit like the  
port lint check?

If periodic, does it generate output about what it's doing, like  
which new files have been downloaded or which files failed to  
download, and if so, could that be emailed to the changes list? Would  
anyone find that useful?
