From my last information GeoIP2 is a complete rewrite and not finished
for productive environments, yet. Maybe it also would be better to
provide geoip and "geoip2" as seperate source packages..
Yes, they are different formats. The new format is production ready.
The C API is unlikely to change at all before a non-0.x release.
Anyway the MaxMind DB Writer is not useful for the current format and
where I last have got a chat with one from MaxMind: it is also not
working, but things could have been changed..
It does work and it is used internally to generate the GeoIP2 and
GeoLite2 databases. You are correct that it is only only useful for
the new format.
So what should we do now with this bugreport? I would personaly
prefer a
volunter who is able to extend the geoip-generator to support the city
database as input and output.
This should be possible as the old format is fairly straightforward,
but it is also quite limiting, which is why MaxMind created the new
format. The legacy APIs are in maintenance only mode.

So this bug should be a "ITP". Are you interested in packaging it?
