Package: geoip-database-contrib

I am not sure if anything can be done with this binary-only file. But
anyway it would be nice if the ISO-8859 storage would be handled more
gracefully. Eg:

$ echo $LANG
en_US.utf8
$ geoiplookup 86.201.149.4 | file -
/dev/stdin: ISO-8859 text

This means that I can get invalid character on my shell.

thanks.

reassign #728307 geoip-bin
tag #728307 + wontfix
thanks


Would it be possible to have a little more information on why this has
been marked as wontfix ?

Thanks.


see my next mail :)

Sorry for the ping-pong, but I'd really like to know the exact root of
the issue, why is this a wontfix ... upstream db is in ISO-8859, but
IMHO it could be display in locale dependant output (eg utf8).


Hi,

upstream wrote the following:
<quote>
geoiplookup has the -l flag to flip between iso-8859-1 and utf8. The default is utf8. Guessing the charset seems wrong for pipe operations and we can’t convert the output into all possible locale settings. Only utf8 and iso-8859-1 is supported by libgeoip. I think this users issue is resolved.

geoiplookup -f /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat  2.209.152.0
GeoIP City Edition, Rev 1: DE, 07, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Mönchengladbach, 41238, 51.151402, 6.470300, 0, 0
