    • dotnet tools were added to buildbots, surfaced a mismatch when cross-compiling without odk (i.e. broke android builds on master branch)
    • this week was OK, except for an Android breakage on master (Cloph)
      • rebase changes with old base to avoid the problem
      • resume won’t help here
    • CI didn’t catch it, because the buildbots didn’t have the dotnet-SDK at that time
