microcode.ctl (1.06-6) unstable; urgency=high Patches from Nate Eldredge: * Fix my grave pointer error (closes: #129467) * Some improvements: new dynamic buffer generation (removed -b option), sscan error check, and other small changes (closes: #129472) * microcode kernel modules can be removed automatically (closes: #129475) * some clean up, other small corrections, and maybe more bugs :-) -- Giacomo Catenazzi Wed, 16 Jan 2002 21:05:07 +0100 microcode.ctl (1.06-5) unstable; urgency=medium * Check size of command arguments (avoid buffer overflows) * Corrected the semi-classical 'off by 4' bug in microcode buffer * Create microcode buffer dynamically (and add an option to specify the size). This should close the microcode.ctl part of this bug: (closes: #121804) * Fixed typo (four times) (closes: #120479) * Don't show error from modutils. Changing modules.conf is a task of kernel-sources-* packages (or of the user) (closes: #121100) * Small stylistic changed in the package description (closes: #125132) -- Giacomo Catenazzi Wed, 19 Dec 2001 18:29:48 +0100 microcode.ctl (1.06-4) unstable; urgency=low * debian/postint: Don't exit prematurely, this solve: init.d script now is called at every installation and /usr/doc symlink is created. (closes: #114846) -- Giacomo Catenazzi Mon, 8 Oct 2001 21:46:39 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.06-3) unstable; urgency=low * Use numerical IP for microcode.dat server. This reduce from 55 sec to 10 sec the timeout period of non networked machines. Further improvment reduced timout to 6 sec. Thus removed ping test, this caused problem with some firewalled networks (closes: #113096) * Try also .bz2 or .gz version microcode.dat. This should reduces network traffic from 425Kb to 110kB -- Giacomo Catenazzi Mon, 24 Sep 2001 21:01:45 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.06-2) unstable; urgency=low * postinst: correct wget options. (closes: #112194) and possible some more little changes (error in packing, forget some change/correction in CVS) -- Giacomo Catenazzi Mon, 17 Sep 2001 16:20:23 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.06-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstram version (new microcode) * control: reintroduces the dependence on makedev * microcode now is downloaded from the net, thus removed package microcode * control: use header of libc6-dev instead of kernel-headers. * postinst: Download the microcode from the net -- Giacomo Catenazzi Mon, 10 Sep 2001 20:42:35 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.04-5) unstable; urgency=low * postint: missing '\' added (Closes #94292). -- Giacomo Catenazzi Wed, 18 Apr 2001 19:05:55 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.04-4) unstable; urgency=low * microcode_ctl: corrected the location of microcode.dat (closes #93489) * changelog: Removed dependence makedev (>= 2.3.1-51). I told to makedev's maintainer wrong data for microcode device :-(. Waiting for a corrected version. -- Giacomo Catenazzi Thu, 12 Apr 2001 08:00:07 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.04-3) unstable; urgency=low * Latest kernel-image have microcode support, yet we don't require anymore kernel-sources (closes: #85489, #85903) -- Giacomo Catenazzi Wed, 14 Feb 2001 18:38:02 +0100 microcode.ctl (1.04-2) unstable; urgency=low * Now 'makedev' know about /dev/cpu/microcode. I will uses it. * Fix some typos * Try to load microcode modules before to try to update microcode. -- Giacomo Catenazzi Thu, 8 Feb 2001 19:46:18 +0100 microcode.ctl (1.04-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release * microcode is now distributed in an additional package. Thus this package is full GPL * Intel changes the microcode license, after Debian complains. Now we can put the two packages in the Debian mirrors * First package officially in Debian * Applied also an upstream patch (small corrections for Debian) * microcode_ctl.start: Don't assume /dev/cpu/microcode to be a char dev. * microcode_ctl.start: Return always 0. This make happy debhelper. * microcode_ctl.start: Do the tests only in start|restart,..section -- Giacomo Catenazzi Thu, 25 Jan 2001 08:03:18 +0100 microcode.ctl (1.03-4) unstable; urgency=low * Corrected some small errors. * Now microcode_ctl is called after modprobe -s -q microcode. -- Giacomo Catenazzi Wed, 18 Oct 2000 21:38:17 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.03-3) unstable; urgency=low * Small correction to better conform to debian package policy. -- Giacomo Catenazzi Wed, 18 Oct 2000 17:32:57 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.03-2) unstable; urgency=low * Small correction -- Giacomo Catenazzi Wed, 20 Sep 2000 18:08:01 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.03-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release * Small changes -- Giacomo Catenazzi Tue, 12 Sep 2000 16:40:48 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.02-2) unstable; urgency=low * Small changes * Microcode automaticly loaded at boot time -- Giacomo Catenazzi Wed, 19 Jul 2000 22:19:03 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.02-1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial release. * Adjusted Makefile for Debian use * Change directory from /usr/bin to /usr/sbin * Include kernel headers (/usr/src/linux/include instead /usr/include) -- Giacomo Catenazzi Thu, 13 Jul 2000 21:31:14 +0200
