We would have ended up with a separate library anyway, because we need
something that doesn't depend on gtk.
I pondered splitting the non-gtk parts out of libtimezonemap at first,
but decided to do a few more optimizations while I was at it:
1. throw away data in cities15000.txt that we don't
Awesome, I didn't notice the tossing-data or compression aspects; that's
nice that we got it so small.
In terms of data you are throwing away, I notice you throw away the
alternate names. Can you stop doing that and expose that info instead?
On the phone side of things, we are trying to add
Ah sorry I wasn't aware you were working on this :/
I should have commented on the bugs saying geonames is on the way.
I definitely plan to expose alternate names as well.
I guess you're right, we could have added it to timezonemap. My
reasoning was that the new library's purpose is to
$ ./change-override -c main -S geonames
Override component to main
geonames 0.1-0ubuntu1 in xenial: universe/gnome -> main
libgeonames-dev 0.1-0ubuntu1 in xenial amd64: universe/libdevel/optional/100%
-> main
libgeonames-dev 0.1-0ubuntu1 in xenial arm64: universe/libdevel/optional/100%
-> main
How does this interact with libtimezonemap, which the desktop team also
maintains and also talks to geonames (though in a less generic way --
only through a GtkTextCompletion thingy).

Right, I know they don't interact in a code sense. I meant the
deprecation aspect.
You mention not hitting the network and I see by looking at the geonames
code that it bundles cities15000.txt into itself to avoid hitting the
network.
libtimezonemap also ships cities15000.txt on disk to work
(Oh, I guess libtimezonemap's completion code does use cities15000.txt
as an initial database then additionally hits the network if that's
available? But then I'm confused how geonames will improve that user
experience.)

It doesn't interact with that at all. It's a replacement for the parts
of libtimezonemap that complete city names, but without the dependency
on gtk (see bug #1436211) and without fetching anything from the network
(we've had a lot of reliability
Looking good to me, +1, tell me once something is pulling it into main
and I'll promote it.
