Description Arjan van de Ven 2006-11-07 17:02:36 UTC 
Description of problem:


the microcode.dat file as shipped is about a year old. Since the program isn't
actually changing, maybe the .dat file should just move to the hwdata package or
something, so that it can be updated async....
Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2007-06-28 17:41:54 UTC 
ping?
Comment 2 Jordan Russell 2007-08-11 07:06:09 UTC 
I see it was updated in CVS:

* Mon Jul  2 2007 Dave Jones <davej>
- Update to upstream 1.17


Any chance of an errata release for F7?
Comment 3 Jon Masters 2007-08-20 06:28:55 UTC 
This kind of fell through the cracks in the Fedora merge. I updated CVS, then
davej did, then...I am not sure of the errata process in Fedora now, but I will
try to find out what needs doing :-)

Jon.

Argh. I still need to do this one.
Comment 5 Jane Lv 2008-02-27 07:13:23 UTC 
The current microcode on FC9-Alpha is 1.17.
Comment 6 Jon Masters 2008-04-02 21:49:32 UTC 
This has been updated a while ago.
