[ Aurelien Jarno ]
* Update Swedish debconf translation, by Martin Bagger. Closes: #522982.
* mips/cvs-context.diff: new patch from upstream to add getcontext,
  setcontext, makecontext, swapcontext.
* any/submitted-mount_h.diff: new patch to add MNT_DETACH and MNT_EXPIRE to
  sys/mount.h. Closes: #523952.
* arm/submitted-fpu_control_h.diff: new patch to disable macros from
  <fpu_control.h> on EABI. Closes: #525261.
* any/cvs-iconv-utf16.diff: new patch from upstream to reject UTF-8-encoded
  UTF-16 surrogates in iconv. Closes: #525299.
* any/local-getaddrinfo-interface.diff: ignore addresses with no interface
  assigned while sorting with rule 7. Closes: #521439.
* any/cvs-broken_dns.diff: new patch from CVS to provide a fallback for
  broken DNS server while doing unified IPv4/IPv6 requests. The first lookup
  will be slow, but subsequent requests will fallback to the previous
  behaviour. This can be enabled by default by setting 'single-request' in
  /etc/resolv.conf.
* debhelper.in/libc.NEWS: add entry explaining the new behaviour and the new
  option.
* any/local-disable-gethostbyname4.diff: disabled this patch to re-enable
  unified IPv4/IPv6 requests. Closes: bug#343140, bug#435646.
* localedata/cvs-el_CY-el_GR-frac_digits.diff: new patch from CVS to fix
  frac_digits and int_frac_digits on el_CY ad el_GR locales. Closes:
  bug#511621.
* mips_asm_unistd.h, sysdeps/mipsel.mk, sysdeps/mips.mk: use our own version
  of unistd.h corresponding to the one of a 2.6.24 kernel to workaround kernel
  bugs on the build daemons.
* any/cvs-binutils_2.20.diff: new patch from upstream to fix build failure
  with binutils 2.20.

[ Petr Salinger ]
* kfreebsd/local-sysdeps.diff: update to revision 2482 (from glibc-bsd).
  Closes: #522686. Thanks to Jan Christoph Nordholz.

[ Samuel Thibault ]

  binutils >= 2.19.

[ Aurelien Jarno ]
* Update German debconf translation, by Helge Kreutzman. Closes: #519992.
* Update testsuite results on alpha, tst-timer.out exits with SIGILL on
  some machines, it was already the case with glibc 2.7 on the same
  machines.
* Update testsuite results on hppa, tst-posix_fallocate.out and
  tst-makecontext.out are known to fail with a 32-bit kernel.
* debian/script.in/nsscheck.sh: fix a typo. Closes: #520455.
* kfreebsd/local-sysdeps.diff: update to revision 2390 (from glibc-bsd).
* libc6.1.symbols.alpha: fix package name for private symbols.

[ Samuel Thibault ]
* debian/rules.d/debhelper.mk: let grep libpthread.so fail because on
  hurd-i386 glibc does not provide it.

[ Samuel Thibault ]
* debian/patches/hurd-i386/local-tls-support.diff: fix typo in tlsdesc.sym.

* Update French debconf translation, by Christian Perrier. Closes: #519662.
* any/local-disable-gethostbyname4.diff: disable unified lookup for
  getaddrinfo(). While unified lookup fix the problem of DNS servers simply
  dropping AAAA requests, it breaks lookup with even more broken DNS servers
  only returning a broken AAAA answer. As it seems the second type of broken
  DNS concerns more users, let's revert to the old behaviour. Closes:
  #516218.
* any/submitted-getaddrinfo-lo.diff: correctly handle the lo interface and
  associated addresses when checking for native connection. Closes:
  bug#519545.
* debian/control.in/libc: change -dbg packages to section debug.
* debian/control.in/main: update Standards-Version to 3.8.1:
  - debian/local/etc_init.d/glibc.sh: move set -e out from the shebang line.
  - debian/debhelper.in/nscd.init: exit successfully if the daemon was
    already running.
* debian/debhelper.in/nscd.dirs: remove /var/run/nscd directory.

  testsuite-checking/expected-results-i686-linux-i686: remove
  testgrp.out from the ignore list, it was due to a misconfiguration
  of the build daemon.

  restart of NSS related services to 2.9-5.

  bug#172123.

    /etc/locales does not exists. Closes: bug#517884.
* debian/local/manpages/ld.so.8: fix a typo. Closes: bug#518394.
* debhelper.in/libc.preinst, debhelper.in/libc.templates: warn users
  about the need to disable xscreensaver and xlockmore before libc6
  is unpacked. Closes: bug#517795.
