--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : geoipupdate
Product : Fedora 28
Version : 3.1.1
Release : 2.fc28
URL :
http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoipupdate/
Summary : Update GeoIP2 and GeoIP Legacy binary databases from MaxMind
Description :
The GeoIP Update program performs automatic updates of GeoIP2 and GeoIP
Legacy binary databases.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update drops support for the free legacy GeoIP databases, which are no
longer being distributed by MaxMind. The geoipupdate-cron6 package is now
obsolete (and not built) as the files it attempts to download are no longer
available. The default configuration is now to download the free GeoIP2
databases, which are supported by libmaxminddb.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:
* Mon Jan 21 2019 Paul Howarth <paul(a)city-fan.org> - 3.1.1-2
- Don't try to update the free legacy GeoIP databases as they are no longer
distributed by upstream
- Drop the cron6 sub-package as the files it tries to download are no longer
distributed by upstream
* Tue Sep 11 2018 Paul Howarth <paul(a)city-fan.org> - 3.1.1-1
- Update to 3.1.1
- Allow parsing of license keys longer than 12 characters
* Fri Aug 17 2018 Paul Howarth <paul(a)city-fan.org> - 3.1.0-1
- Update to 3.1.0
Changes in version 3.0.0:
- BREAKING CHANGE: When downloading the free databases without a MaxMind
account, you must either not have 'AccountID', 'UserId', or
'LicenseKey'
set in your configuration file or they must be set to the zero values
previously recommended in our documentation; any other value will cause an
authorization error
- BREAKING CHANGE: The configuration options 'Protocol',
'SkipPeerVerification', and `SkipHostnameVerification` are no longer
supported; if they are present in the configuration file, they will be
ignored - HTTPS with peer and hostname verification will be used on all
requests
- BREAKING CHANGE: The configuration file must have the 'AccountID' or the
deprecated 'UserId' when downloading a paid database; previously, when
downloading the GeoIP Legacy Country database, you were able to only
provide the 'LicenseKey'
- IMPORTANT: 'geoipupdate-pureperl.pl' has been removed and will no longer be
distributed with 'geoipupdate'; this Perl script had known issues and did
not have feature parity with the C implementation
- This program no longer uses the following endpoints:
'/app/update_getipaddr', '/app/update', and
'/app/update_secure';
'/geoip/databases/{edition_id}/update' is now used instead
- Fixed issue in 'gu_strnlen()' dereferencing a pointer before checking that
it was in array bounds
- We now update the default GeoIP.conf during installation so that directory
paths match build parameters; previously this config always said the data
directory was under /usr/local/share which was not always accurate
- Improve the error checking and display the underlying reason for the error
when possible (GH#82)
- Document that the 'LockFile' is not removed from the filesystem after a
successful exit from the program (GH#79)
- Make default configuration directory agree with default installation
directory
Changes in version 3.0.1:
- When there were no updates available, 3.0.0 incorrectly returned an exit
code of 1 instead of 0; this release reverts to the pre-3.0.0 behavior,
returning an exit code of 0 in this case
Changes in version 3.1.0:
- This version restores the ability to use the 'AccountID'/'UserId'
999999
along with an all-zero license key when downloading free databases;
however, the use of this combination is not recommended and may break in
future versions
- When printing verbose output, only the first four characters of the
'LicenseKey' will now be displayed
* Fri Jul 13 2018 Fedora Release Engineering <releng(a)fedoraproject.org> - 2.5.0-3
- Rebuilt for
