## Alexander Koeppe ([email protected]):
since I've upgraded to FreeBSD 12, I don't find a package providing
the lightweight geoip database API incl. GeoIP.h and libGeoIP.so.
The so-called "legacy" database format used by libGeoIP has been
discontinued by MaxMind, and is only available for paying customers:

For that reason, net/GeoIP has been removed quite some time ago:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=493168
And the free (as in no payment required) GeoLite2 databases have seen some
licensing/handling changes, too:

Thanks for the hints. All the information is very clearing.
This deprecation has completely slipped through for me.
I'll dig into the new GeoLite2 approach and see what's the impact for my
software project.
Thanks to all and all others who have responded.
