The last bulk build for NetBSD-8.0-x86_64 took 4 days:
http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/reports/2019Q2/NetBSD-8.0-x86_64/20190725.1409/meta/status

So, I don't think once a day is realistic. Some packages fail to
build, therefore they are not updated:
http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/reports/2019Q2/NetBSD-8.0-x86_64/20190725.1409/meta/report.html

I don't think that any binaries get built and distributed for wip.
