Comment (by aagbsn):
see also: geoip-database-contrib
However, it adds the following to cron
{{{
0 4 10 * * root [ -x /usr/sbin/geoip-database-contrib_update ] &&
/usr/sbin/geoip-database-contrib_update > /dev/null
}}}
I think we'd prefer to not do that.
geoip-database builds GeoIP.dat and GeoIPv6.dat from csv files included in
the source package, which are available from
http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/geolite/, but as the GeoLiteCity and
GeoIPASNum are not available (freely) in csv format I think we will be
unable to package these databases for Debian.
So alternately, we could add a runtime prompt or command to ooniprobe that
would download these files, but as they are not managed by the OS package
manager we would need to figure out how to determine when they should be
updated (and, it may not be possible to update them safely).
Now, the AS data that we need is available elsewhere (whois, BGP
observatory such as route views, https://www.team-cymru.org/Services/ip-
to-asn.html, delegation records).
It looks like ooniprobe doesn't even *use* the city data. See:
https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-
probe/blob/master/ooni/nettest.py#L281 (perhaps this is a bug)
Thoughts?
