Of course, the nightlies are pretty much built every night.  Note that
the release directories don't neccesarily contain the SOPE packages (an
OpenGroupware dependency).  See the SOPE-INFO file for the version of
SOPE needed for a specific release of OGo;
http://download.opengroupware.org/nightly/packages/fedora-core5/releases/opengroupware-1.1.4-moveon/SOPE.INFO for instance, for 1.1.6 would be sope-4.5.7-david at http://download.opengroupware.org/nightly/packages/fedora-core5/releases/sope-4.5.7-david/

Since 1.1.6 is currently a "official trunk snapshot (alpha)" my
recommendation would be to just grab the trunk packages.  They are very
rarely unstable.

Yes, they usually are.  I use the SuSE nightlies.

Sorry, I don't test on Fedora and I never mess with any of the annoying
package-manager-over-the-web stuff.  It could be that there are some
dependency issues (maybe pilot-link or something) between different
releases of Fedora,  that might give you more or less packages.  If it
is pilot-link (the PDA packages) I wouldn't worry about it since current
Palms are not supported anyway;  Palm changed a bunch of stuff in OS5
rendering pilot-link and OS5 devices estranged.

At a glance the
http://download.opengroupware.org/nightly/packages/fedora-core5/trunk/
folder looks complete, so I'd suspect that the packages are all there

Of course.  This is an Open Source project.  If you checkout the source
code it contains spec files.   Patches are appreciated.  Since 1.1.6 is
currently a "official trunk snapshot (alpha)" it isn't terribly
surprising that the build isn't complete.
