I still can't understand why the repo update process isn't automated
at least to the extent of testing updates on a virtual machine
which has all optional packages installed to see if the updates
install correctly and the system still boots after the updates.

If it makes it through that elementary test, then go ahead and make
the repo public. A test run like that would be quick and easy and
catch somewhere around 99% of the problems like this that keep
sneaking into the updates.
