This is more a general question, I understand abs is updated every 24 hours. Would more regular updates (say, every 1 hour or so) be better?
A bit off-topic: You don't have to use ABS if you don't need a complete tree. For a single package: svn co svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages/$pkgname/trunk or svn co svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages/$pkgname/repos/testing-i686 or similar. Replace 'packages' with 'community' for community and multilib packages. This gives direct access to the subversion tree, so it is instant on updates. However, if people start trying to checkout the complete tree, we will shut it down, as subversion is incredibly inefficient. You can also pull the git tree (see [1]), which is updated every two hours, if you need the complete tree. [1] https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/
