Package: src:trafficserver Version: 9.1.1+ds-1 Severity: normal trafficserver 9.1.0 added[1] the "maxmind acl" plugin, to replace the geoip acl plugin. The geoip plugin uses the deprecated libgeoip library, which uses the legacy GeoIP/GeoLite databases. The maxmind plugin uses instead the replacement libmaxminddb library (by the same upstream, and btw with myself as the Debian maintainer), which can use the GeoIP2 or GeoLite2 databases, or any other databases in the openly documented MMDB format (e.g. DB-IP's databases).
Adding support in the package is just a matter of adding a libmaxminddb-dev dependency, and shipping the generated /usr/lib/trafficserver/modules/maxmind_acl.so. The build system automatically detects the presence of the library and builds the plugin. I would advise to remove the libgeoip-dev dependency and to stop shipping the geoip plugin, as no up-to-date/accurate databases will be available during the bookworm cycle. If you do decide in keeping that plugin for backwards-compatibility reasons, however, I would strongly advise to pass --with-hrw-geo-provider=maxminddb, in order to pick maxminddb over geoip in the presence of both. Thanks for the consideration and for caring for this package! Regards, Faidon 1: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/commit/b757688230b82ffaa61aec401b5d026cf0e20dc0
