+With some help from Sören, have been redoing the android build environment
+for git-annex. This included making propellor put it in a docker container,
+which was easy. But then much struggling with annoying stuff like getting
+the gnutls linking to work, and working around some dependency issues on
+hackage that make cabal's dependency resolver melt down.
+Finally succeeded after much more time than I had wanted to spend on this.
