No. There is no builder available to build the city database from the source csv, so it is non-free. netsniff-ng requires City-data, c. f., http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703855 I do not think that the city database is accurate enough to be seriously used in a tool. IMHO netsniff should not hard depend on it. If netsniff-ng would use geoip-database-contrib instead it might probably be put into contrib itself.

Package: geoip-database Version: 20130213-1 Severity: normal Hi Hi Patrick, No. There is no builder available to build the city database from the source csv, so it is non-free. Ok, I see: GeoIP.dat has one source GeoIPCountryWhois.csv whereas GeoIPCity.dat has two: GeoLiteCity-Blocks.csv and GeoLiteCity-Location.csv. No building from source is a K.O-Criterium, understood. And if you suggest geoip-database-contrib? Yep, Suggests is not listed in http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html as a no-go and so that might work (for netsniff-ng/0.5.7-1). Thank you, Edi PS I see on http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite that the data has license CC-BY-SA v3.0 [1] whereas you write in the copyright-file OPEN DATA LICENSE Maybe you can correct the license and my bug report would be -at least- helpful? :) [1] which should be fine for debian main according to http://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: geoip-database Version: 20130213-1 Severity: normal Hi Patrick, No. There is no builder available to build the city database from the source csv, so it is non-free. I searched and found https://github.com/mteodoro/mmutils/blob/master/README.md A quick test with $ ./csv2dat.py -l GeoLiteCity_20130305/GeoLiteCity-Location.csv flat GeoLiteCity_20130305/GeoLiteCity-Blocks.csv mmcity_flat.csv $ ./csv2dat.py -w mmcity.dat mmcity mmcity_flat.csv # flowtop --city-db /home/user/mmutils-master/mmcity.dat seems to work. Thank you. Regards, Edi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
