GeoIP Legacy Discontinuation #913

Closed GoD-Tony closed 3 years ago

GoD-Tony commented 6 years ago

At some point SourceMod's GeoIP extension should probably be updated to use GeoLite2.

We have decided to discontinue our GeoLite Legacy databases effective January 2, 2019. We will stop updating the databases before that date (see “General Information” below), and the databases will no longer be available for download on January 2, 2019.

The newer API is a bit more complex, but porting to it wouldn't be too bad. It does look like there's no equivalent for GeoipCode3, the three letter country code.

We're probably best off just replacing the old API with new on the Dev version, and leaving stable alone.

A quick note that the packaging script for the stable branch might need an update to handle the soon-to-be broken URL used to download the legacy database.

Edit: Fixed in eb6a39ecde88c73d7ae397f51459b5e4b0ee93ad
