[PATCH 1/3] Add geolocation module

Martin Kolman mkolman at gmail.com
Thu Apr 11 13:39:32 UTC 2013


The geolocation module exposes an API that makes it possible to get
current territory code using either GeoIP or alternatively nearby WiFi
access points. The module has multiple location backends, the default backend
is using the Fedora MirrorManager. The geolocation module is a singleton,
that is instantiated by the init_geolocation() call and refreshes geolocation info
using a thread after refresh() is called.

If the module is not instantiated and/or refreshed, None is returned by
the get_territory_code() and get_result() method.

If the module fails for some reason, it should not raise any exception,
all errors will be logged instead.

+A GeoIP and WiFi location module - location detection based on IP address
+
+How to use the geolocation module
+
+First call init_geolocation() - this creates the LocationInfo singleton and
+you can also use it to set what geolocation provider should be used.
+To actually look up current position, call refresh() - this will trigger
+the actual online geolocation query, which runs in a thread.
+After the look-up thread finishes, the results are stored in the singleton
+and can be retrieved using the get_territory_code() and get_result() methods.
+If you call these methods without calling refresh() first or if the look-up
+is currently in progress, both return None.
+
+Geolocation backends
+
+This module currently supports three geolocation backends:
+* Fedora MirrorManager
+* Hostip GeoIP
+* Google WiFi
+
+Fedora MirrorManager backend
+This is the default backend. It queries the Fedora mirror manager API for
+a list of most optimal mirrors and parses the result for country code.
+For production, it would be probably good to ask the MirrorManager people
+to provide a simple GeoIP API Anaconda can use, as the currently used one
+isn't originally meant for this usecase (so it might not be guaranteed to
+contain the country code in the future) and returns quite a lot of useless
+data (mirror URLs) that has to be computed by MirrorManager but is of no
+use to Anaconda.
+
+Hostip backend
+A GeoIP look-up backend that can be used to determine current country code
+from current public IP address. The public IP address is determined
+automatically when calling the API.
+GeoIP results from Hostip can contain more granularity than the results
+from MirrorManager (territory code only). They contain the current public IP
+and an approximate address. To get this detail location info, use the
+get_result() method to get an instance of the LocationResult class,
+wrapping the result.
+
+Google WiFi backend
+This backend is probably the most accurate one, at least as long as the
+computer has a working WiFi hardware and there are some WiFi APs nearby.
+It sends data about nearby APs (ssid, MAC address & signal strength)
+acquired from Network Manager to a Google API to get approximate
+geographic coordinates. If there are enough AP nearby (such as in a
+normal city) it can be very accurate, even up to currently determining
+which building is the computer currently in.
+But this only returns current geographic coordinates, to get country code
+the Nominatim reverse-geocoding API is called to convert the coordinates
+to an address, which includes a country code.
+While having many advantages, this backend also has some severe disadvantages:
+* needs working WiFi hardware
+* tells your public IP address & possibly quite precise geographic coordinates
+  to two external entities (Google and Nominatim)
+This could have severe privacy issues and should be carefully considered before
+enabling it to be used by default.
+* the Google WiFi geolocation API seems to lack official documentation
+As a result its long-term stability might not be guarantied.
+
+
+
+Possible issues with GeoIP
+
+"I'm in Switzerland connected to corporate VPN and anaconda tells me
+I'm in Netherlands."
+The public IP address is not directly mapped to the physical location
+of a computer. So while your world visible IP address is registered to
+an IP block assigned to an ISP in Netherlands, it is just the external
+address of the Internet gateway of  your corporate network.
+As VPNs and proxies can connect two computers anywhere on Earth,
+this issue is unfortunately probably unsolvable.
+
+
+Backends that could possibly be used in the future
+* GPS geolocation
++ doesn't leak your coordinates to a third party
+(not entirely true for assisted GPS)
+- unassisted cold GPS startup can take tens of minutes to acquire a GPS fix
++ assisted GPS startup (as used in most smartphones) can acquire a fix
+in a couple seconds
+* cell tower geolocation
