Thanks Thomas! Looking at that thread, upstream doesn't seem to have issued a response. That said, Debian is already shipping third-party modules in src:nginx, under debian/modules. Would it perhaps be acceptable to the nginx maintainers to include github:leev/ngx_http_geoip2_module in the source package and include it as a separate binary package? Whether we should continue to ship the geoip (legacy) module is orthogonal in a way -- both can be shipped at the same time, although I'd argue that this is no longer very useful. Regards, Faidon
