Fedora Project

  • Updated geoipupdate to 2.4.0 in F-26 and Rawhide:

    • geoipupdate now checks that the database directory is writeable: if it is not, it reports the problem and aborts

    • geoipupdate now acquires a lock when starting up to ensure only one instance may run at a time: a new option, 'LockFile', exists to set the file to use as a lock ('.geoipupdate.lock' in the database directory by default)

    • geoipupdate now prints out additional information from the server when a download request results in something other than HTTP status 2xx; this provides more information when the API does not respond with a database file

    • ${datarootdir}/GeoIP is now created on 'make install' (GH#29)

    • Previously, a variable named 'ERROR' was used, which caused issues building on Windows (GH#36)

Local Packages

  • Updated geoipupdate to 2.4.0 as per the Fedora version
