[Bug 1054983] Re: Sync microcode.ctl 1.18~0+nmu2 (multiverse) from Debian unstable (contrib)

Wed Dec 19 10:48:44 UTC 2012

This bug was fixed in the package microcode.ctl - 1.18~0+nmu2
Sponsored for Henrique de Moraes Holschuh (hmh)

---------------
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 1) which superseded installing
      microcode updates, and on iucode-tool, which superseded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:

Title:
  Sync microcode.ctl 1.18~0+nmu2 (multiverse) from Debian unstable
  (contrib)

Status in “microcode.ctl” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Please sync microcode.ctl 1.18~0+nmu2 (multiverse) from Debian
  unstable (contrib)

  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
    * Fix microcode JSON search URL and add useful check.  LP: #891283.
    * Fix microcode JSON search URL and add useful check.  LP: #891283.
    [ Stefano Rivera ]
    * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
      - debian/{templates,microcode.ctl.config}: Default to downloading
        microcode, and reduce the debconf priority on this question to medium.
        (LP: #604257)
      - Rewrote update-intel-microcode script to robustly parse and
        download updated microcode correctly (LP: #569488)
      - update-intel-microcode: Do not eval() code from the Internet, and use
        Python's built in tarfile library rather than a temporary directory.
      - debian/microcode.ctl.init: Depend on $remote_fs.
    [ Daniel J Blueman]
    * Fix failure to untar firmware from Intel, due to internal filename change
      (LP: #783239)

  The new packages are *transitional* packages to *replace* microcode.ctl with
  the new intel-microcode (see LP: #1054979) and iucode-tool packages.

  It effectively removes microcode.ctl from Ubuntu, therefore the deltas are
  not relevant any longer.

  It is possible that an Ubuntu developer might want to apply the changelog delta
  from the Ubuntu packages to make sure the upload history also covers the Ubuntu
  versions.

  Since it removes microcode.ctl, it will close all open bugs against the
  microcode.ctl package.

  This request for sync should NOT be approved unless the request for sync for
  intel-microcode (LP: #1054979) is also approved.

  Changelog entries since current 12.10 version 1.17-13.1ubuntu2:

  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.
