Why are build failures ignored during indexing?

Currently it seems like build failures for the the repositories to be indexed are ignored. It's weird those are ignored and the build succeeds like nothing happened; this leads to the server running fine but not actually showing the results for the failed repository.

I suppose this is the reason for issues like #60?

It might be nice if build failures logged an issue against the repo so they are known when they happen.

I would guess they are ignored so a single failure doesn't bring down all of source.dot.net

Yea, they are ignored because its... rare that all the product repos all build successfully.
