The disavantage on not-internet connected machines: now we have an extra timeout trying to resolve the name, anyway maximun: 20 seconds. -- Giacomo Catenazzi 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).

(closes: #197659) Changed also some return value to follow LSB * Updated scripts to use debhelper v4, i.e.: - added debian/compact - use dh_installman instead of dh_installmanpages - remove debian/confiles (now automagically generated by debhelper) * Updated to debian policy 3.6.1: - now Makefile will handle DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS -- Giacomo Catenazzi Wed, 22 Oct 2003 22:45:06 +0200 microcode.ctl (1.06-7) unstable; urgency=low * Updated the IP of people.debian.org (closes: #171452) -- Giacomo Catenazzi Wed, 5 Feb 2003 20:10:28 +0100 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.
