For Rawhide, ~1 hour. For releases, by default, packages only enter the 
buildroot once they're pushed as stable updates. To get packages into the 
buildroot faster, you have to request a buildroot override from rel-eng. 
This is a manual process and may take hours depending on when a rel-eng 
member is available, but is usually faster than an update push. (Note: 
soname bumps for libraries MUST be done through buildroot overrides, as 
pushing them as stable updates breaks dependencies in the stable release! 
For new packages like in your case, you can wait for the stable push, but 
with a buildroot override, it can probably be done faster.)
