This means there were a lot of build failures (as could be expected).

Mining the failures would be interesting, too.  I suppose a lot are due
to missing build dependencies, but some have probably failed in more
interesting ways.

Do you have the build logs online as well?

There should be a fix any day now...

You should probably also exclude packages that already exist in the
SSU and SDK repositories, just to avoid confusion.
