Bug#1003350: hsail-tools: Bogus endianness error message in debian/rules

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de>]

Source: hsail-tools
Severity: normal

Hi!

The logic in debian/rules for the endianness check seems inverted:

override_dh_auto_configure:
ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH_ENDIAN),big)
	@echo "package can be built for big-endian only"
	false
endif
	dh_auto_configure

As a result, on s390x the package FTBFS with:

 package can be built for big-endian only
 false

which makes no sense.

Might be a better idea to whitelist all little-endian architectures
in debian/control instead since this will also avoid the package
from being picked up by the buildds.

Adrian
