One of its dependencies, txtorcon, requires python-geoip which depends on geoip-c-api. I've got both covered, but both of them want (either to download or to be present) for tests (a/the) legacy database file of maxmind. Question 1: Can we distribute the database in a source? I can't access the homepage of maxmind for cloudflare reasons. Question 2: If we can't distribute it, is it okay that I disabled the tests and will leave it up to the user to run the `geoipupdate' application, which I would need to package then. Thanks! --=20 =E2=99=A5=E2=92=B6 ng0 -- https://www.inventati.org/patternsinthechaos/
