2012-04-05[BZ #6770] Add first_weekday and first_workday to ca_ES.Petr Baudis
Patch from Fedora by Jeff Law. Acknowledged by Jordi Mallach.
2012-04-05Fix size parameter comparisions.Michael Matz
[BZ #13592] There are several signed compares of the size argument, whereas it really is unsigned. Depending on situations e.g. a "memset(ptr, 0, -1)" segfault (but for the wrong reasons, because jumping into nirvana) or succeeds even. In normal use this is harmless, as a size with signbit set indicates more than half the address space which on x86_64 is impossible to allocate, but as the size is used to index some jump tables this potentially could have other unwanted side effects.
2012-04-05Don't warn about unused result of mktempAndreas Jaeger

2012-04-03Add __bswap_64 definition for non GCC compilers.Andreas Jaeger
[BZ#13926] Currently __bswap_64 is not defined at all for non-GCC compilers. Define it but guard it with __GLIBC_HAVE_LONG_LONG. endian.h uses __bswap_64, make the functions only available if __GLIBC_HAVE_LONG_LONG is defined.
2012-03-30Consider TTL of CNAME record and return minimum TTL in the chainSiddhesh Poyarekar
[BZ #13928] A DNS request consists of multiple resources combined into a single hostent, including multiple CNAME records that may have been assigned different TTL values. In such a case, nscd should take the least TTL among all of the resources as the timeout for the hostent before it is reloaded in its cache so that the hostent remains stale in the database for the least amount of time.
