Why are snapshot builds not daily?

### Development Snapshots

Development snapshots are automatic unattended daily builds of the current OpenWrt development 
master branch. Bear in mind that these images are generally not tested, use them at your own risk.

The Raspberry Pi 4 build is dated Fri Feb 14.
Not exactly daily.

On this page you can follow several things regarding the construction of snapshots. To advance in general that practically no daily is really daily, this for the most varied reasons. For example, there were no changes in the code or there were errors in the built (usually the bot is programmed on certain parameters and does not rebuild if the building fails, but jumps to the next scheduled building). If you want to 100% follow the change of every single piece of code you have to make yourself a personal bot or build manually every time there is a change https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=summary
This last method is the one I follow myself and is very successful. But you need discrete hardware for the building, otherwise it becomes long and it is better to take advantage of the build bot of the project.
