Author: adamw Date: Tue Jan 8 04:43:45 2019 New Revision: 489642 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/489642 Log: Deprecate net/GeoIP, and expire it at the end of the month Note that only the legacy format is deprecated. The GeoIP2 databases are alive and well. I completely missed that GeoIP has been deprecated for the last year, and it expired upstream last week. Maxmind no longer provides the legacy database, rendering this port useless. Users must switch to GeoIP2 immediately. OPTIONS changes and instructions will be coming in the next few days. See https://support.maxmind.com/geolite-legacy-discontinuation-notice/ Although it won't be purged from the quarterly branch, it probably makes sense to MFH this deprecation notice.
