Fedora Project

  • Updated geoipupdate to 4.5.0 in Rawhide:

    • The edition ID is now included when there is a failure retrieving a database
    • The Docker image no longer prints the generated GeoIP.conf when starting up, which prevents a possible leak of the account's license key (GH#109)

    • The minimum Go version is now 1.11
    • Failing HTTP requests are now retried using an exponential backoff: the period to keep retrying any failed request is set to 5 minutes by default and can be adjusted using the new RetryFor configuration option

    • When using the go package rather than the command-line tool, the default value for RetryFor will be 0 seconds, which means no retries will be performed: to change that, set RetryFor explicitly in the Config you provide, or obtain your Config value via geoipupdate.NewConfig

Local Packages

  • Updated geoipupdate to 4.5.0 as per the Fedora version
