[Pkg-blender-maintainers] Bug#441216: blender: save files are not endian-safe

[Bas Wijnen]

Package: blender
Version: 2.44-2+b1
Severity: important

It took some time, so bug #330920 has been archived, but this is really
a follow-up to that.

The error has changed, though, now it says:

	guessing 'blender-bin' == '/usr/bin/blender-bin'
	Compiled with Python version 2.4.4.
	Checking for installed Python... got it!
	Loading ./art/marbles.blend failed: File incomplete

	Error: no such file or Blender text -- initdir.
	ERROR: No camera

	Blender quit

This seems to happen only on big-endian machines (so far, mips and s390,
it hasn't been built yet on m68k and hppa) and not on little-endian
machines.  The .blend file was generated on ia-32.

For the complete test case, see the gfpoken source package,
art/marbles.blend (version is currently 0.30-2, but the blend file will
not change unless suggested here).  For the error messages, see the
buildd logs at http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=gfpoken .

Thanks,
Bas Wijnen
