geoip-database-contrib binary package in Ubuntu Trusty i386
GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country that any IP
address or hostname originates from. It uses a file-based database.
.
This package contains a script that downloads the latest version of the binary
flavor of the four MaxMind GeoLite databases (Country, IPv6 Country, City, and
ASN).
.
These databases simply contain IP blocks as keys, and countries/
values, which should be more complete and accurate than using reverse DNS
lookups.
.
The MaxMind database itself is made available under a DFSG-compatible license.
However, it is distributed directly in binary format and the source code for
generating it is not provided.
