Hi there, Thanks Colin for re-raising this! My intention for #885442 was to include the GeoLite2 *databases* (i.e. MMDB), rather than their data converted to the legacy GeoIP format. I'll avoid making a mess out of the BTS though, given we have this bug now :)

As I mentioned repeatedly in #885442, I don't share that view; I think we should be shipping MMDBs as-is and not building them out of CSVs. We have no reason to believe that MMDBs are generated out of CSVs and the most likely scenario is that the opposite holds true. Moreover, MMDB is openly and freely documented and with reader and writer implementations in all kinds of languages -- more than what we can say for most file formats out there. Regards, Faidon
