There's a weekly pkg build run that starts by taking a cut of the ports
tree on a Wednesday.  It generally takes several days to complete, so
new packages available on the following Saturday is about right.
However, the new packages are published as soon as they are ready to go;
there's no guarantee of exactly when that will be.
