Package: microcode.ctl Version: 1.17-9 Severity: wishlist When administering large numbers of machines and/or machines on a private network, it can be desirable not to download the microcode file from Intel's servers but from a local mirror. One way to do this might be to add debconf settings, much as in the msttcorefonts package.
While you're at it, look also at the http_proxy support in msttcorefonts. On a related note, I would argue that microcode.ctl/check-new should default to false. Especially since we now have a package (intel-microcode) that can be used to deploy the microcode data file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
