Users need to fill in its configuration file with their +Maxmind account details. It's possible to generate the entire config +from the Maxmind web page, once one has an account. -When called without parameters it will fetch GeoIP, GeoIPv6 and GeoIPASNum -data (around 2 MB download, 4 MB on drive). If -a parameter is provided -then the script will also fetch GeoIPCity data (around 25 MB download, 45 MB -on drive). +geolite2legacy is a script for converting geolite2 data to the old +geoip format. Accepts only the CSV format as input. -Requirements -============ +We also ship a geoipupdate-legacy subpackage, which is a wrapper around +geoipupdate. It downloads the data and converts them to the old format +using geolite2legacy. The data will be stored at the usual place +(/var/lib/GeoIP), so this should be transparent to existing applications. +It's basically a re-implementation of geoip-fetch which was shipped +within GeoIP package (but no longer works). -* shell, curl to fetch and gzip to decompress the archives +Q: Do I need to migrate?
