Package: ncbi-blast+ Version: 2.16.0+ds-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream The upgrade from 2.12 yielded autopkgtest regressions for cct and kleborate on s390x, which is notably the only big-endian architecture with autopkgtest coverage. In both cases, makeblastdb wound up determining that it had somehow produced a broken database and proceeding to bail.
I cannot readily see how other big-endian architectures fare at the moment, so I'm inclined to add a build dependency on architecture-is-little-endian for now and leave this bug open as an invitation to prepare a proper fix. With this B-D in place, I will also want to request existing big-endian builds' removal so that 2.16 can migrate to testing. NB to teammates: I'll want to fold other tuneups into this upload, namely trying -fsection-anchors on alpha in hopes of keeping GOT sizes within limits and and dropping to -O on sh4 because disabling parallelism was insufficient to avoid virtual memory exhaustion. -- Aaron M.
