Bug 464862 – =dev-php/pecl-geoip-1.0.8-r1 - Misses IPv6

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mireiawen Rose 2013-04-06 13:43:06 UTC]

PHP GeoIP is missing the IPv6 support; it seems upstream does not have it ready yet, but there is working patch available: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=59124

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install dev-php/pecl-geoip-1.0.8-r1
2. Have php-page with GeoIP call with IPv6 address:
<?php
header('content-type: text/plain');

var_dump(geoip_country_name_by_name('2001:14b8:1ed::'));
?>

Actual Results:  
Notice: geoip_country_name_by_name(): Host 2a00:1450:4001:c02::71 not found in geo.php on line 4
bool(false)

Expected Results:  
string(7) "Ireland"

As workaround, I wrote ebuild that just patches the source with the patch file from https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=59124

It is better to push upstream to make a release with the patch. We do not have the manpower to maintain patches adding features upstream is not supporting.
