If upstream includes the patch, that's fine. But I will not inlcude (and maintain, if the origin author isn't responsible anymore) such a patch into the debian package.

And, I think, debian will only include it, if GeoIP is in the original source. Personally I (and some other Mailinglist members) have doubts about scoring of nationality, race, religion or even OS (p0f comes to mind, I question more and more the sanity of p0f in a pre DATA context). For those reasons I made ethically questionable patches such as GeoIP only available as patch on the main home-page. I think that's a good compromise. I.e.: those who really want a gun, must do some work for it. p.s.: did you contact B. Hajduk? He was the original author of the patch. -- Robert Felber (PGP: 896CF30B) Munich, Germany Policyd-weight Mailinglist - http://www.policyd-weight.org/
