Oh: also I just noticed that the ubuntu packagers have temporarily disabled the tests on armhf.
Please re-enable these tests. It turns out this was a real mathematical bug that was picked up by the test suite, which was doing exactly what it was designed to do. The bug was not picked up in debian because it never appeared in a real upstream release, but it *did* appear in ubuntu because ubuntu is currently shipping an unofficial git pull. I do appreciate that the test failure was reported upstream, but nevertheless the test suite is meant to be a first line of defence against bugs. I have never released a version of regina that failed any of its tests on any of the many platforms and architectures that I build it for, and this is precisely so that users can be confident in the reliability of this mathematical software. If you are shipping an unsupported git pull that fails one or more tests, I would strongly request (as the lead upstream developer) that ubuntu should not ship a knowingly broken git pull at all, and should instead wait for an official release (as opposed to just disabling the tests, which of course does not actually fix the underlying problem at all).
