Hi release team,
I'd like to ask for a freeze exception for libgeo-ipfree-perl, 0.2-7.
This version fixes #505736 - outdated and incorrect country data file.
Summary:
libgeo-ipfree-perl contains a country data file (with mappings
between IP address ranges and countries). The version in the package
before 0.2-7 was both outdated and incorrect, and made the whole
package rather useless.
0.2-7 now ships a newly generated ipscountry.dat; all other changes
are kept to the necessary minumum.
Here's the complete changelog entry:
#v+
libgeo-ipfree-perl (0.2-7) unstable; urgency=low
* Provide an updated ipscountry.dat (country data file); thanks to Claus
Herwig for the bug report and the tools and hints;
- add debian/README.source to explain how to update ipscountry.dat
- add debian/webgeo2ipct.pl by Claus Herwig (utility script for producing an
updated ipscountry.dat file)
- debian/copyright: information about the two new files
- add patch fix_tests.patch to adjust the tests to the changed database
- add debian/NEWS.Debian to document that the return value for three
reserved address ranges has changed
Closes: #505736
* Set Standards-Version to 3.8.0, mention quilt usage in
debian/README.source.
* debian/control: change my email address.
* debian/control: Changed: Switched Vcs-Browser field to ViewSVN
(source stanza).
