Hi Kevin,

I understand the reasons. I've been told on #alpine-devel that somebody
is already working on building dotnet from sources.

The issue comes from the fact that dotnet requires msbuild to build, and
msbuild can't be built by mono, but the binary could help to get the boostr=
ap
started.

I'll keep an eye for it on the project on IRC if I can help.

Cheers,

Simon
