10. * Upstream release 20141028 built fro...

Author: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
Revision Date: 2014-12-18 13:36:27 UTC

* Upstream release 20141028 built from linux-firmware:
  + Updated microcode patches for family 0x15 processors
  + Added microcode patches for family 0x16 processors
* AMD did not update the relevant microcode documentation (errata fixed,
  microcode patch levels, etc), so there is no documentation for the
  family 0x16 microcode patches, and the documentation for family 0x15 is
  stale.
* postinst: do not update microcode on upgrades:
  Remove code that triggers a microcode update on package upgrade. The
  resulting postinst script is now identical to the one in Debian jessie's
  intel-microcode, and thus known-good.
  NOTE: this code was already disabled for the majority of the users due
  to Debian bug #723975 (closes: #723975, #723081)
* kpreinst: remove, we don't update microcode on postinst anymore
* blacklist automated loading of the microcode module:
  This is in line with the desired behavior of only updating microcode
  *automatically* during system boot, when it is safer to do so. The
  local admin can still load the microcode module and update the microcode
  manually at any time, of course. This is in sync with the intel-microcode
  packages in Debian jessie, which will also blacklist the microcode module.
  Note that the initramfs will force-load the microcode module in a safe
  condition, the blacklist avoids module autoloading outside the initramfs
* control: bump standards version (no changes required)
* copyright: update upstream URL and upstream copyright date
  (closes: #753593)
* docs: future-proof by using a glob pattern for per-family README files
* initramfs hook: support forced installation of amd64-microcode:
  Add a config file (/etc/default/amd64-microcode) to select the mode of
  operation: do nothing, force install to initramfs, install only when
  running on an amd64 processor (closes: #726854)
* initramfs hook: fix (likely unexploitable) issues found by shellcheck
* Add a NEWS.Debian file to warn users we will no longer update the
  microcode on package upgrade (note that we were not doing it on any
  Debian kernels anyway). Also document the existence of the new
  /etc/default/amd64-microcode file

6. * Upstream release 20141028 built fro...

Author: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
Revision Date: 2015-01-20 11:05:40 UTC

* Upstream release 20141028 built from linux-firmware
  + Updated microcode patches for family 0x15 processors
  + Added microcode patches for family 0x16 processors
* AMD did not update the relevant microcode documentation (errata fixed,
  microcode patch levels, etc) for the 20141028 release, so there is no
  documentation for the family 0x16 microcode patches, and the
  documentation for the family 0x15 microcode patches is stale.
* Upstream release 20131007 built from linux-firmware
  + updated microcode:
    sig 0x00500F10, id 0x05000029: erratum (+) 784;
    sig 0x00500F20, id 0x05000119: erratum (+) 784;
    sig 0x00600F12, id 0x0600063D: errata (-) 668, (+) 759, 778;
  + new microcode:
    sig 0x00200F31, id 0x02000032: errata 311, 316;
    sig 0x00600F20, id 0x06000822: errata 691, 699, 704, 708, 709, 734,
        740, 778;
  + This update fixes important processor bugs that cause data corruption
    or unpredictable system behaviour. It also fixes a performance issue
    and several issues that cause system lockup.
* Switch to native package, since there is no upstream tarball
* debian/copyright: update upstream URL (Closes: #753593)
* debian/copyright: update with new license
* debian/install: all _fam microcode files for install
* docs: use glob pattern for _fam* README
* control: remove homepage and update standards-version
