It's OK, it turns out that it was retired by mistake during the
orphaning process, which has now been rectified. I've taken ownership
of GeoIP itself but some of mfleming's other packages are still up for
grabs (he's no time to devote to packaging these days and has orphaned
a bunch of stuff).

If anyone is interested in co-maintaining GeoIP, please apply in pkgdb
by the way.

Paul.
