Hm, I'm not too familiar with geoip or its situation in Debian. My
thought for how to handle this would be to package the GeoLite2
databases (not .csv but .mmdb) and the APIs for them that Maxmind
provides, both as packages that are separate from the existing geoip
packages. But, I would mostly defer to your judgement -- I am capable
with C++ and could also extend the geoip-generator.
That would be nice! :)
What's the reason for not just packaging the GeoLite2 .mmdb files
and the new API as Maxmind provides them? I'm still not 100% sure
about what the existing situation is. Mostly my motivation is simply
It is non-free if it is not buildable from source.
that I'm working with a tool for which it would be useful if Debian
could, out of the box, resolve IP addresses to city names for me.
Then you also could get happy with geoip-database-contrib.
Thanks.

Hello,
the problem is not that they do not provide the data sources (.csv), but
there is no way to build those .csv data to the binary format required by
GeoIP itself. If you are skilled in C++ you may extend the geoip-generator
from the Debian geoip sources itself.
If there is a way to build those data I would be happy to provide them.

Hello. It would be nice to have packaged up the free city data that
maxmind now makes available:

Thanks for your time, take care.
