microcode.ctl (1.18~0+nmu2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Add changelog entries for 1.17-13.2 and 1.17-13.1 (closes: #687835)
    Missing changelog entries wreak havok with the BTS version tracking,
    this is not simply a cosmetic fix.

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 1) which superseded installing
      microcode updates, and on iucode-tool, which superseded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
    + closes: #627261, #660121, #663360, #664492, #674667, #684104

 -- Giacomo Catenazzi <cate@debian.org>  Wed,  3 Nov 2004 08:40:54 +0100

microcode.ctl (1.09-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * After talking with debian, kernel and udev people, it seems
    that it is a *feature* that modprobe return before udev creates
    devices, so now if we don't find yhe device, we wait max
    7 seconds (with a check every 0.1 sec) to allow udev to really
    createdevice (Closes: #268130). Thanks to Karl Hegbloom and
    Bastian Kleineidam.
  * We try also to unload the module microcode at the end
    (the new modutils from module-init-tools don't automatically
    remove modules). Thanks to Karl Hegbloom
  * POSIX portability. Now init.d script is more portable
    (works with dash)

  * In init.d script Now we handle 3 different path of microcode devices
    (classic/LANANA/makedev, newer devfs, debian udev)
    Above change work only for init.d script, so we add a note
    in Readme.Debian.
    Thanks "ehikory" for pointing this problem, and for
    testing the script in devfsd environment.

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)

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)

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

microcode.ctl (1.06-2) unstable; urgency=low
