There's nothing that prevents us from packaging geoipupdate, even if it requires a runtime configuration with a login+password. That's basically the same as for a webserver: we do package more than one webserver, but the user is still responsible for providing the content of the server-root. > Someone who has might be interested to make it though. I agree with you on that. ;-) Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
