guidance.
### Timing
A cronjob on the build server keeps trying to build nightly unless it has already succeeded.
(Nightly builds should be run once a day. A common technique I use is, after a
build succeeds, write something like `sleep 20h;
/opt/stackage-build/stackage/automated/build.sh nightly-2015-01-02`.)
A looping script on the build server keeps trying to build nightly
with `sleep 30m` interleaved. It only publishes the nightly once per
day. This way new package versions or build failures can be caught
early and hopefully the nightlies will be timely.
LTS minor bumps typically are run on Sundays.
