>Description:
It appears that Maxmind now charges[1] for geoip database file.
Update script shipped with port zeros existing database since source URL is no longer existing.
[1] http://www.maxmind.com/app/country
>How-To-Repeat:
Run /usr/local/bin/geoipupdate.sh
>Fix:
There's GeoLite Country database at: http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/tmp/GeoIP.dat.gz
Maybe fix a script and/or add more care for not zeroing existing database?
