Package: microcode.ctl
Version: 1.17-13
Severity: normal
This would usually be wishlist, but CPU microcode fixes *need* to be
applied as early as possible (preferably by the BIOS itself).
microcode.ctl should:
1. Provide facilities to upload microcode from the initrd. Since a big
initrd is annoying, it should retain in the initrd only the microcode
for the CPU update-initramfs was run in. The root filesystem boot
process can try to reapply microcode updates to cover the CPU upgrade
scenario.
2. Change the initscript to run *early* (as soon as the required device
is available), even if that means moving microcode to /lib.
3. Verify whether it is needed to supply a udev hook or not. Depends on
what the kernel driver does during S5-based hibernation, and CPU
hotplug. If the kernel doesn't retain the last uploaded microcode by
itself, we probably should start using /lib/firmware (which would
actually allow us to simply not bother with initscripts or special udev
scripts anymore).

Description:
microcode.ctl - Intel IA32/IA64 CPU Microcode Utility (transitional package)
Closes: 282583 500802 563910 571408 593845 597039 608675 627261 660121 663360

Changes:
microcode.ctl (1.18~0+nmu1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Replace microcode.ctl with a transitional package, to migrate
systems to the new intel-microcode package
+ Change to empty native package, debhelper compat level 7
+ debian/copyright: update
+ Move to contrib/oldlibs, priority extra
+ Remove replaces of a package not seen in the last decade
+ Change description to that of a transitional package
+ Depend on intel-microcode (>> 1) which superseded installing
microcode updates, and on iucode-tool, which superseded
the processing of microcode directly downloaded from Intel
+ Conflict with intel-microcode (<< 1) to be able to remove
/usr/share/misc/intel-microcode.dat which might have been
installed either by microcode.ctl's update-intel-microcode
script or by intel-microcode (<< 1).
+ Use dpkg-maintscript-helper to remove the initscript
+ Remove /usr/share/misc/intel-microcode.dat if still present when
configuring, and regenerates the initramfs in that case. This
avoids left-over cruft microcode in the initramfs for the case
where update-intel-microcode was used, and we're being configured
together with intel-microcode (>> 1)
* This upload effectively removes microcode.ctl from Debian. Close all
open bugs against microcode.ctl:
+ closes: #282583, #500802, #563910, #571408, #593845, #597039, #608675
