Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package intel-microcode Intel released a new version of their microcode dump, which updates the microcode for a widely-used processor family (latest i5/i7: e.g. i5-3570k and i7-3770s, signature 0x306a9). Although I am not privy to any extremely serious bugs this update would solve, it likely deals with enhanced support or stability fixes for PEBS or the on-die memory/PCI controler. Thus, it is probably an important update. It is also not likely to be widely deployed on motherboards on the field, thus being a bit more important that we distribute it. There should be no risk of regression, as the only change was the replacement of the latest microcode data file, and that only changed a single microcode update (verified using per-microcode-update sha256 hashes). The packages have been in unstable for >12 days, without any issues being reported. unblock intel-microcode/1.20130222.1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.4.36+ (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
