README: database workflow status #48

Closed Arkoniak closed 3 years ago

Arkoniak commented 3 years ago

README should be updated to reflect current state of the project.

As it was mentioned in the https://github.com/JuliaWeb/GeoIP.jl/issues/47#issuecomment-827094443 due to the fact that maxmind no longer provides direct access to it's database files, update and other functions are not working.

README should contain following information:

  1. MaxMind data is not downloaded anymore from the package and should be downloaded externally.
  2. MaxMind alternative is https://db-ip.com/db/
  3. GeoIP.jl should be used as a wrapper for downloaded data and nothing else.
