[Description toto 2009-01-16 08:59:10 UTC]

Seems need release it, like put file with contents for ex.:
#!/bin/sh
wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz -O /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.gz && rm /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat && gunzip /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat.gz
thx

Reproducible: Always

Thank you for report. But I'd better fixed bug 255965 and used geoipupdate-pureperl.pl. We'll see how it goes...

[Comment 3 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2009-03-01 10:52:13 UTC]

Well, I was wrong: geoipupdate-pureperl.pl and other geoipupdate does not work with geolight databases. We need to find another solution. Either cron job or I'm thinking about another package - geolite-databases with automatic updates...

If we are to do this, then we need to update the IPv6 database too if USE=ipv6 (see bug #358287).

Created attachment 276171 [details]
geoipupdate.sh

We're using this for infra and we'd like to share that with others.

Thank you Christian! I dropped bind part and added script to the tree.
