Dear FTP masters,
could dinstall be run more frequently, for example every hour?
Currently dinstall is run only once every 6 hours. This means that many
operations are blocked for a long time. For instance uploading a -2
version after a package has cleared the NEW queue.
Such long delays tend to ruin the development flow, especially of
volunteers that happen to have just a couple of hours at their disposal.
This is a well known source of frustration [1].

Given that a dinstall run generally takes only few minutes, it should be
feasible to run dinstall at least hourly.

There is currently no change planned and incoming.d.o is available. So
I'll close this bug.
