Description nE0sIghT 2015-08-12 19:51:37 UTC

As I said in bug 403119 "I spent about 10 minutes before found intel cpu firmware in portage".

Markos Chandras agreed with that and wrote: "I will also rename microcode-data to sys-firmware/intel-ucode".

I think 2nd name is much more common that 1st.

Reproducible: Always

I've renamed this to intel-microcode because ucode is less obvious when searching.

Thanks for the report. Fixed in http://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=13655cd05b4c1177b76921d9944a7aa6de3002c2

I do not personally think that 'microcode' is better name:
