Errata update:

Oops. My bad. There is no rsync-32Beta-updates script. The rsync-
32updates script will fetch updates to the Fedora 32 general
availability release in May. Here's the script to pull a copy of that
future repository.

For now, running the rsync-32Beta script periodically will fetch all
updates to the beta.
