Most of the issues are simple fixes in the upstream code, like unsorted outputs or timestamps included in the build. You can help make the #FreeSoftware #Android ecosystem be more reproducible! See the failures here and help us report them upstream:

Hello dear K-9 users! You probably got a suggested updated for K-9 to "Thunderbird Beta for Testers". This is just a metadata issue, which displays a wrong name and icon. The update itself is K-9 in version 8.0. You don't get automatically switched over to Thunderbird. This will probably be fixed in the next index update. In other news: Thunderbird for Android is available now on #FDroid ;)
