[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#994714: ncbi-blast+: makeblastdb output dependent of endianness

[Étienne Mollier]

Hi Aaron,

Aaron M. Ucko, on 2021-09-19:
> As of BLAST+ 2.10.0, makeblastdb defaults to making version 5 databases,

This is amazing!  I more or less followed these threads, and
even actively participated to one, but only now I am putting all
the pieces of the puzzle together.  Thanks for your explanation,
notably by insisting on lmdb outputing architecture dependent
data, bit which really cleared things up to me!  I see how to
address the situation on kleborate side.

> Thanks for checking!

You're welcome!  Thank you so much for your help on that issue!
Have a nice day,  :)
