microcode script

[crpb]

i stumbled over this repo and was a bit confused about this microcode.sh thing so i thought that might be better done with one of the following options?

Packages

% curl https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/{bookworm,trixie,sid}/{main,non-free-firmware}/binary-amd64/Packages.xz |xzcat |awk '/^Filename: .*(iucode-tool|(amd64|intel)-microcode)/ {print $2}'|xargs -I'{}' echo https://deb.debian.org/debian/'{}'

iucode-tool is obviously available like that but for showing how that works like a charm w/o html-kung-$fooo

apt

cd `mktemp -d`
cp /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list ./bookworm.list
sed 's/bookworm/trixie/g' bookworm.list > ./trixie.list
sed 's/bookworm/sid/g' bookworm.list > ./sid.list  # non-existant 'sid-updates' will fail but to get the point.
sd=Dir::Etc::sourceparts=$PWD
sudo apt -o $sd update
sudo apt -o $sd policy {amd64,intel}-microcode

apt (another variant)

sources=Dir::Etc::sourcelist=/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list
sudo apt -o $sources update 2>/dev/null # that redirect is to get rid of the duplicate warnings as you can see w/o it.
sudo apt -o $sources policy {amd64,intel}-microcode
