Thanks for the report.

Not sure what went wrong there, but I've restarted it and it seems to have 
processed all the pending uploads.


Thanks Jon,

Hopefully there is something in some log that can help you figure out the cause.

`ssh` commands /help/, /alive/, /info/ work okay - could do with a /status/

[ITA] GeoIP, GeoIP-database, geoipupdate

[Brian Inglis via Cygwin-apps]

I would like to adopt and revive the above packages with the last ("unofficial") 
version of the legacy code committed noted in the ChangeLog as 1.7.0, and a new 
upstream source for legacy format free databases converted when the official 
current upstream databases are updated.


Is there any easy way of overridding package version from
ac_init_version without patching configure.ac?

As part of this upgrade, the geoipupdate source and databases are no longer 
available, so the new upstream database source update script becomes a new 
database subpackage and script geoipupdate, and the old geoipupdate source, 
binary, and debuginfo packages should become obsolete.


Is there anything special required to replace a source package and binaries with 
a binary subpackage?


Below are links to existing source packages, build repos, scallywag runs, and 
updated package info.



Geographic IP Lookup utilities, development, and runtime

Existing source package:

https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/GeoIP-src.html

Updated cygport:

Scallywag runs:

https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?srcpkg=GeoIP

Geographic IP Lookup utilities, development, and runtime

GeoIP finds geographic and network locations of an IP address.

For more information see the project home page:

https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c

See below for details of changes:

https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c/blob/master/ChangeLog


GeoIP-database  Geographic IP Lookup (databases)

Existing source package:

https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/GeoIP-database-src.html

Updated cygport:

https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/GeoIP-database/tree/?h=playground

Scallywag runs:

https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?srcpkg=GeoIP-database

GeoIP-database  Geographic IP Lookup (databases)

GeoIP finds geographic and network locations of an IP address.
These databases are extracts of free GeoLite2 data from Maxmind 
https://www.maxmind.com/ and are less accurate than the commercial databases.


geoipupdate Geographic IP Lookup (database update utility)

geoipupdate database updater script downloads the latest available data
and updates the installed files.
The script may be run manually, from a login profile script, as a cron
job, or from an MS Windows Scheduled Task.

For more information see the project home page:

https://mailfud.org/geoip-legacy

This package will rarely be updated as the data changes weekly and the
database updater script geoipupdate will keep the data current.

Re: Cygwin a bit slow

Hi,

For me not use AV or disable parts is not an option...

Then, if AV is inspecting the CreateProcess, these processes can be known
the path of these process?


[Please bottom post in Cygwin mailing lists. TIA]

I'm not suggesting you don't use a real-time AV scanner. I'm suggesting
that Windows Defender is the best one to avoid slowing your Windows PC
down in general and especially with Cygwin. (FYI In independent tests,
its detection rate is very much as good as Trend, AVM, McAfee etc. as
well, so you save money & maintenance time without losing protection to
boot.)

As I said, with Trend and other badly-written AV services, simply
excluding an executable or directory does not prevent the slow down. In
some cases even 'disabling' the AV using its UI does not either,
probably because this doesn't actually remove the hooks.

Again, I recommend removing all third-party AV and using Defender (and
Smart Screen, Safe Browsing etc. in your browser) if you have control
over your PC. If you're locked down, convince your IT manager about the
cost (purchase & your time waiting for the PC) savings of doing so.
(Good luck with the last - IT managers are often petty empire builders
who don't like taking advice even when it's good & saves money. I know -
I have been one in past times!)
