---------------
glibc (2.7-9ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian (r2869); remaining changes:
    - Packaging:
      + External tzdata
      + Use external locale information
      + Addition of Niagara and Niagara2 optimised libraries
      + GFDL Documentation added back in, build glibc-doc from this source.
      + Transition from /usr/include/ppc64-linux-gnu to powerpc64-linux-gnu
      + Use dpkg triggers for ldconfig
      + Do not die if extra libc libraries or symlinks found
      + Do not do a test run of nscd when starting
      + Only apply patches we actually use in Ubuntu
      + Use /lib and /usr/lib for amd64
      + amd64 biarch is i686, not i486.
      + Non-optimised i386 glibc is Xen-friendly.
      + Support sparcv9v, v9v2, 64b, 64v, 64v2
      + Add support for lpia.
    - Patches:
      + sparc/submitted-v9v2
      + hppa/hppalll
      + Applied any/local-ipv6-lookup.
      + Not applied any/local-sysctl.
  * debian/sysdeps/*.mk: Still build main flavours with -O3 (using gcc-4.2).
  * Use <triplet>.conf for files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d. LP: #70315
