   + dotnet tools were added to buildbots, surfaced a mismatch when cross-compiling without odk (i.e. broke android builds on master branch)
     + rebase or ignore android "cannot deliver netmaker" failures (example:
  https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/gerrit_android_aarch64/39043/consoleFull#192858289151d215b0-1876-4bde-b595-657ba300853f )
    + 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
    + CppunitTest_sw_a11y failures: sounds like a timing problem, the slower Windows builder hits this mostly

             + Also useful for other CTL languages (e.g. Tamil, Khmer)
         + tdf#107209 Writer correct vertical text break after flys
             + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107209
             + Fixed
