I have no idea. I am not even sure they use rsync, but it's likely they do.

They're made from a cronjob which starts at 09:25 CEST (CET on winters).

The cronjob syncs its tree with the primary CVS (it's a tree distinct from
my development tree). It autogens, makes clean, tars a tarball, and builds a
diff from the previous tarball. Then, it makes update-po in po/, makes
core-translation-report, and throws away the whole po/ directory.
When it's done, it makes a diff between the previous day's ChangeLog and
today's, and replaces the previous day's ChangeLog with today's. This whole script
is also uploaded as "nemo.py" in the same directory as the snapshots.

(there is a second tarball, translated-sheets-dia*.tar.gz, which is
primarily here to provide the translated set of .sheet files for distribution
on Win32. I don't know whether this is really used, but crans.org won't
complain for 232 kB...)

Finally, if the ChangeLog diff is not empty, the following actions take place:
	* the ChangeLog diff is sent to the list (Dia ChangeLog Daemon report)
	* the snapshot and tarballs are rsynced 
	* today's core-translation-report is archived in the translation
	  reports directory
	* the translation report graphs are rebuilt 
	* they are rsynced.

If the ChangeLog diff is empty, nothing happens.

As a rule of thumb, fifteen minutes after the report has been posted to the list,
the new snapshot and tarball should be ready and waiting for downloads. If
you see the translation graphs include today, they are ready for sure.
