In new version:

- fix comment in the startup script on "cpupdate_flags" defaults for rc.conf;
- catch up with recent changes of platomav/CPUMicrocodes: updated to MCE DB r62.
- removed patch that was integrated (auto load cpuctl.ko, compiler warning);
- fixed crash when no supported CPU found (*);

sysutils/cpupdate: update to g20180320

Additional port changes:

- move binary from /bin/ to /sbin/ as this is sysadmin's utility;
- supply startup script for boot time updates started as early as possible,
  before configuration of network interfaces;
- make code respect PREFIX;
- patch source to kldload("cpuctl") automatically, if needed;
- fix some compiler warning;
- update pkg-descr to mention that CPU microcode updates bringing
  new features like IBRS require recent FreeBSD version
  for sake of CPUCTL_EVAL_CPU_FEATURES support.

 

10:27 eugen 

sysutils/cpupdate: - correct ONLY_FOR_ARCHS_REASON message;

- be more specific in the COMMENT and pkg-descr: mention x86-centricity;

- in addition to CPM option, add INTEL convinience option to ease
downloading and extraction of recently updated Intel's pack of microcode updates
https://downloadmirror.intel.com/27591/eng/:intel/microcode-20180312.tgz
allowed for end users but not for redistribution, so it does not get
installed nor added to pkg-plist.

Still no real changes of the package, so no PORTREVISION bump yet.

 

16:25 eugen 

sysutils/cpupdate: catch up with recent changes of
http://github.com/platomav/CPUMicrocodes

Also, improve pkg-descr a bit.

No real package changes, so no change of PORTREVISION.

 

06:58 eugen 

sysutils/cpupdate: - polish COMMENT a bit;

- add an option (disabled by default) to download and extract
CPU microcode collection from https://github.com/platomav/CPUMicrocodes
while building the port. These files do not get installed nor put
into the package that has not changed, so no PORTREVISON bump.

New port: sysutils/cpupdate

This is new microcode updating utility.
At the moment, it is for Intel processors only
with AMD and VIA support pending.
