AFAIK the service is run as part of the Fedora infrastrucuture, due to its potentially sensitive nature (every manual installation that has network access will try to reach this API). It is not a third party provided API. > When I check MaxMind's > site, they give the correct info for both my IPv4 and IPv6 addresses > (which BTW the Fedora geoIP lookup doesn't have a v6 address so only > checks v4). > > I also installed the Fedora 31 GeoIP packages and ran the geoipupdate, > and that DB has the correct info. IIRC the infra team mentioned some issues with the new geoip database being incompatible with how the service is currently implemented, resulting in being stuck with an outdated database until this is resolved. But I'm sure the people actually running this will know more, so CCing the Fedora infra list. > -- > Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
