Bug#741199: RFP: libmaxminddb -- library for working with MaxMind DB files

[Faidon Liambotis]

retitle 741199 ITP: libmaxminddb -- library for working with MaxMind DB files
owner 741199 !
thanks

 This is now the de facto format for the GeoIP (and GeoLite) databases.
 
 CC'in the geoip maintainer in case he wants to take this RFP as this is 
 basically the continuation of what he is maintining.

I'm interested in doing this and I have preliminary packages. I checked
with Patrick and he is okay with this plan. I'll put packaged up in
collab-maint soon, in case Patrick or others are interested as well.

Thanks,
Faidon

Bug#741199: RFP: libmaxminddb -- library for working with MaxMind DB files

Hi,

Quoting the README of the libmaxminddb[1]:
 The libmaxminddb library provides a C library for reading MaxMind DB
 files, including the GeoIP2 databases from MaxMind. This is a custom
 binary format designed to facilitate fast lookups of IP addresses while
 allowing for great flexibility in the type of data associated with an
 address.

This is now the de facto format for the GeoIP (and GeoLite) databases.

The library is licensed under the Apache License, version 2.

CC'in the geoip maintainer in case he wants to take this RFP as this is 
basically the continuation of what he is maintining.
