Of course you can cron script xxx to fetch xxx or update xxx. That still requires user to actually "activate something". IP::Country::Fast has no updates, other than if the maintainer decides to update the module every few years and expect people to actually upgrade the module also. Many people will not have the resources needed to run the database generation script manually. Geoip has been "de facto" for years and is in many distributions with automatic package updates. It's also very simple to cron wget the database. Geoip also supports IPv6 when we need it. If anyone has some legimate concerns, especially on if and where to put the licensing clauses etc, I'm open to hearing that. Other than that, I'll be probably posting proposed patchset when I have time. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
