Changelog

ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.4.27) bionic; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Coulson ]
  * detect-plugins/cpu-microcode.py, UbuntuDrivers/detect.py:
    - Remove the cpu-microcode.py detection plugin (LP: #1738259).
      Kernel metapackages are going to have a hard dependency on the
      {intel,amd64}-microcode packages to ensure that all bare-metal installs
      benefit from microcode updates. This means that microcode packages are
      no longer "additional drivers" and since they won't be able to be removed
      without uninstalling the kernel metapackages, there is no need for them
      to be exposed by ubuntu-drivers.

Binary packages built by this source

dh-modaliases: debhelper extension for scanning kernel module aliases

 dh_modaliases is useful for packages that ship third-party kernel modules,
 either in binary form, or as sources (with e. g. DKMS). It extracts the
 modules' modaliases from either the compile .ko files themselves (for packages
 which ship them in compiled form, using modinfo), or from a package file
 debian/packagename.modaliases.
 .
 This enables software which is looking for missing driver packages (such as
 Jockey or the operating system installer) to identify which package(s) will
 provide a driver for a piece of hardware, identified by its modalias.

ubuntu-drivers-common: Detect and install additional Ubuntu driver packages

 This package aggregates and abstracts Ubuntu specific logic and knowledge
 about third-party driver packages. It provides:
 .
  - a Python API for detecting driver packages for a particular piece of
    hardware or the whole system.
 .
  - an "ubuntu-drivers" command line tool to list or install driver packages
    (mostly for integration in installers).
 .
  - some NVidia specific support code to find the most appropriate driver
    version, as well as setting up the alternatives symlinks that the
    proprietary NVidia and FGLRX packages use.
