#44709: New port: libmaxminddb ----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mark@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ----------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by mark@…): Replying to [comment:2 pixilla@…]:
Should libgeoip be replaced by libmaxminddb? {{{ port info libgeoip }}}
I don't think so. It's a different API with a different underlying data structure, so it would be a complete BC break to replace libgeoip. It looks like they are also continuing to patch libgeoip (last update was less than a month ago) and I haven't seen when they are going to end-of- life the underlying data structures for that version. Should probably treat this as a new product as opposed to a v2 of libgeoip. I guess "successor" was not the term I should have used. More like "new, prefered alternate". -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44709#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
