Sorry, perhaps a 'state' file or something would be good to have.

I am syncing over the new images now. Most everything composed
yesterday. ;)

You are welcome to do so... there is a koji static repo that has the
contents of everything built currently in the tag. I don't think I want
to switch the nightlys to that, because one of the reasons for them is
for maintainers to see what packages are currently composed and would
be in a final spin if it happend then, and also with rawhide, all the
packages built push out the next day, so a 1 day change isn't that
worthwhile. 

Anyhow, enjoy the composes. I hope they are helpfull.
