Package: xtables-addons
Version: 3.0-0.1

The script geoip/*xt_geoip_dl* downloads the following databases:
- http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPv6.csv.gz
- http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPCountryCSV.zip

Quoting maxmind: "... anyone can continue to download the March 2018
GeoLite Legacy builds. Starting January 2, 2019, the last build will be
removed from our website. GeoLite Legacy database users will need to switch
to the GeoLite2 <https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/>"

That means that the free legacy databases are not updated since 03/2018.

The format of the new GeoLite2 databases
<https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country-CSV.zip>
has changed. The networks are not mapped to ISO country codes anymore, but
to numerical "registered_country_geoname_id" &
"represented_country_geoname_id" as specified by Geonames
<http://www.geonames.org/>.
This has probably some consequences for the geoip/*xt_geoip_build* script.
