+Subject: Disable class and collaboration graph generation
+
+The graphviz-generated class and collaboration graph
+occupies 1GB disk space.  It is too big to deal with.  We turn them
+off only to save space.  Output image format is specified as svg to
+further save space (bug #751947).

+FAIL (output not verified): ./tPath
+
+Disable tLSQaips and tLSQFit tests
+
+These tests fail, probably due to the test itself. From
+https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=838424#15
+
+I'm not sure what to do about the other two tests that fail on arm64,
+"tLSQaips" and "tLSQFit", because those two generate a load of output
+text containing floating-point numbers and compare that text with an
+expected output. It might not be so easy to make that work on all
+architectures. Perhaps one could simply disable those two tests.
+Preferably one would still run them, so that we can see what happens
+in the logs, but not have the build fail if only those tests fail.

+Subject: Do not install test and demonstration executables
+
+casacore_{assay,floatcheck} are removed and only used with scons.
+measuresdata.csh and ms2uvfits should be included in casacore-doc as examples.
+change measuresdata.csh shebang to /usr/bin/tcsh as in Debian.

+Subject: Fix FTBFS tStatisticsUtilities,
+ tLatticeStatistics and tLCEllipsoid on arm64
+
+The tests "tStatisticsUtilities" and "tLatticeStatistics" can be made
+to pass on arm64 with these adjustments to the expected accuracy.
+
+The test "tLCEllipsoid" seems to be converting ellipses into bitmaps.
+I'm guessing it gives different output on amd64 and arm64 because the
+real curve passes through a critical point and numerical inaccuracy
+puts it on different sides of the point on the two architectures. One
+way to fix that might be to use non-round numbers in the parameters so
+that the curve does not pass through a critical point. That's what I
+tried to do, and with the following changes to the program and the
+expected output the test passes on both amd64 and arm64.
