Hm, I'm not too familiar with geoip or its situation in Debian. My thought for how to handle this would be to package the GeoLite2 databases (not .csv but .mmdb) and the APIs for them that Maxmind provides, both as packages that are separate from the existing geoip packages. But, I would mostly defer to your judgement -- I am capable with C++ and could also extend the geoip-generator. What's the reason for not just packaging the GeoLite2 .mmdb files and the new API as Maxmind provides them? I'm still not 100% sure about what the existing situation is. Mostly my motivation is simply that I'm working with a tool for which it would be useful if Debian could, out of the box, resolve IP addresses to city names for me. Thanks. -Andrew
