Ryan,

I’d suggest you look at using Jenkins or some other CI tool to schedule a 
nightly build of the processors you need. If the core framework changes aren’t 
what you are concerned with, this could be a simple solution. Just checkout the 
git repository, build the processor modules, and copy the resulting *ARs into a 
staging directory so your instances can pull from them.

Unfortunately, I do not thing this is a task that the official Apache project 
can undertake at this time.
