Note that most of these breakages are a result of new package versions being uploaded, but our buildds slacking, or problems preventing the build of the newer versions alltogether. This results in conflicts between the newer arch-independent packages and the older hurd packages. This kind of problems could be effectively prevented by use of a "testing" repository, where only known working combinations of packages are allowed to migrate. This would require some work though to set up and maintain -- working on Gentoo GNU/Hurd instead might very well be a better investment of time :-) -antrik-
