Recently my co-maintainer made a update in rawhide for ntop package from 3.3.8 to 3.3.9. It was without discussion with me. The update had a dependency with GeoIP package which needs GeoLiteCity.dat and GeoIPASNum.dat binary format files (they are compressed and optimized form of big CSV files). GeoIP package can read this .dat files and provide info. My questions is whether these .dat files can be included into fedora ? License for .dat files is at: http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/LICENSE.txt Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488717 Build id: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=92821 Snippet from http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity """ GeoLite City is offered in binary format, a highly optimized database that supports fast lookups using our Open Source API code. We recommend using the binary files with APIs instead of importing the CSV files into SQL because the binary format is more efficient and is easy to set up and use. * Binary Format Installation Instructions * Download the latest GeoLite City Binary Format (28 MB when uncompressed, last updated February 1st, 2009, next update March 9th, 2009) CSV Format Our CSV format enables you to load the database into a SQL database. The GeoIP City and GeoLite City use the same locationIDs, so the GeoIP City CSV files can be used as a drop in replacement for GeoLite City CSV files without having to change the locationIDs. Note that queries made against the CSV data imported into a SQL database can take up to a few seconds. If performance is an issue, the binary format is much faster, and can handle thousands of lookups per second. * Instructions on how to use our CSV databases with a SQL database. * Download the latest GeoLite City CSV Format (100 MB when uncompressed) """ -- Regards, Rakesh Pandit _______________________________________________ Fedora-legal-list mailing list Fedora-legal-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legal-list
