The sysutils/devcpu-data port needs an update to install the latest microcode updates released by Intel and AMD for their popular x86 families of microprocessors. Attached is a patch that modifies this port to fetch the manufacturer release bundles and build the files required by FreeBSD's microcode update tool (/usr/sbin/cpucontrol) from them. I noticed that this port is unmaintained, so I volunteer to maintain it. I would like to get more involved with FreeBSD, and this looks a good place to start. The attached patch includes a change to MAINTAINER. Thank you! Fix: Simply apply the attached patch and reinstall the port. Patch attached with submission follows: How-To-Repeat: N/A
