glibc (2.5-5) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Aurelien Jarno ]
  * Rename patches/all/submitted-iconv-E13B.diff into
    patches/all/cvs-iconv-E13B.diff as the patch has been accepted
    upstream.
  * debian/debhelper.in/libc.NEWS: new file to warn user to upgrade
    to a 2.6.1 or later kernel before upgrading the glibc.
  * debian/script.in/kernelcheck.sh: improve the kernel error message.
  * New Tamil debconf translation, by Tirumurti Vasudevan.  Closes:
    #420755.
  * script.in/nohwcap.sh: use sed instead of awk.  Closes: #420799.
  * Update Catalan debconf translation, by Jordà Polo.  Closes: #420835.
  * Add support for n32 and 64 ABIs on mips and mipsel, but keep it
    disabled for now:
    - control.in/main: add libc6-dev-mipsn32, libc6-dev-mips64 to the
      build-dependencies.
    - control.in/mips64: add libc6-mips64 and libc6-dev-mips64 packages.
    - control.in/mipsn32: add libc6-mipsn32 and libc6-dev-mipsn32 packages.
    - rules.d/control.mk: use control.in/mips64 and control.in/mipsn32.
    - sysdeps/mips.mk: add two new passes for n32 and 64 ABIs.
    - sysdeps/mipsel.mk: likewise.
  * debian/control.in/main: drop build-depends on libssp32 and libssp64,
    build-depends on gcc-4.1 (>= 4.1.2-5) instead. Drop build-conflicts
    on gcc-4.1 (= 4.1.1-14). Closes: #413370.
  * debian/sysdeps/hppa.mk: switch back to gcc-4.1.
  * debian/debhelper.in/libc.preinst: add a check for silly users having
    LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 in their /etc/profile, ~/.bashrc or shell
    init script.
  * debian/control.in/main: build depends on binutils (>= 2.17cvs20070426-1).
    Closes: #405738.
  * debian/shlibver: bump shlib to 2.5-5 for the transition to
    hash-style=gnu.
  * debian/control.in/main: build depends on gcc-4.1-multilib on bi-arch
    architectures.
  * control.in/amd64, control.in/i386, control.in/kfreebsd-i386,
    control.in/mipsn32, control.in/mips64, control.in/powerpc,
    control.in/ppc64,  control.in/s390x, control.in/sparc64: drop the
    depends on lib32gcc1/lib64gcc1. Recommends gcc-multilib.
  * debhelper.in/libc.postint: remove the version check when creating
    ld.so.conf.  Closes: #420726.

  [ Michael Banck ]
  * patches/hurd-i386/local-dl-dynamic-weak.diff: new patch (turn
    _dl_dynamic_weak on by default for hurd-i386).

  [ Pierre Habouzit ]
  * nscd.init:
     + use nscd --shutdown rather than start-stop-daemon to stop nscd more
       gracefuly. Closes: #338507.
     + also invalidate hosts on reload.
     + drop oldies (nscd_nischeck things, does not exists anymore).
  * patches/any/cvs-scanf_hexfloat.diff: fix a bug when parsing a float in
    hexadicimal form with no exponent. Closes: #166403.
  * disable hosts caching in nscd by default as it breaks gethostby* calls
    (does not respect DNS TTLs, see #335476):
     + document it in nscd.NEWS.Debian.
     + patches/any/local-disable-nscd-host-caching.diff: update nscd.conf.
