Since the api change of apache 2.4, we can't compile this module. To handle that, patrick@gentoo.org updated mod_geoip2-1.2.7 with a "need_apache2_2" (http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/www-apache/mod_geoip2/mod_geoip2-1.2.7.ebuild?r1=1.1&r2=1.2&) But if we read the API changes in apache HTTP Server 2.4 since 2.2 (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/developer/new_api_2_4.html), we have : conn_rec->remote_ip and conn_rec->remote_addr These fields have been renamed in order to distinguish between the client IP address of the connection and the useragent IP address of the request (potentially overridden by a load balancer or proxy). References to either of these fields must be updated with one of the following options, as appropriate for the module: When you require the IP address of the user agent, which might be connected directly to the server, or might optionally be separated from the server by a transparent load balancer or proxy, use request_rec->useragent_ip and request_rec->useragent_addr. When you require the IP address of the client that is connected directly to the server, which might be the useragent or might be the load balancer or proxy itself, use conn_rec->client_ip and conn_rec->client_addr. And on github, we have a fix to handle that : https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-mod_geoip2/blob/master/mod_geoip.c, and this work great. Is it possible to use this source code instead the source code provided on the maxmind website (http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/api/mod_geoip2/) ? Thank you. Reproducible: Always

In fact, when I say "we can't", I mean "we don't have the possibility", because the ebuild contain a "need_apache2_2" flag. So this module cannot be install on a 2.4 apache version. But with this source code : https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-mod_geoip2/blob/master/mod_geoip.c, the compilation works fine.
