This is the last call for comments for the review of debconf templates for microcode.ctl. The reviewed templates will be sent on Saturday, June 16, 2007 to the package maintainer as a bug report and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. --
Template: microcode.ctl/check-new Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Download Intel CPU microcodes now? The microcode.ctl package needs the Intel microcodes for its operation. . These microcodes are non-free software and cannot distributed within the package. They can be downloaded from the Internet (the expected download size is about 300-400Kb). . If you do not choose to download the microcodes now, please read /usr/share/doc/microcode.ctl/README.Debian and download the needed files manually or by running the '/usr/sbin/update-intel-microcode' command.

Description: Intel IA32/IA64 CPU Microcode Utility
The microcode_ctl utility is a companion to the IA32 microcode
driver:
.
- it decodes and sends new microcode to the kernel driver for Intel IA32
family (Pentium Pro, PII, Celeron, PIII, Xeon, Pentium 4, etc.) and
Intel x86_64 family processors;
- it signals the kernel driver to release any buffers it may hold.
.
The microcode update does not permanently alter the CPU and must be
performed each time the system is booted.
