In my opinion, it would be better to provide an update script (alike geoipupdate, but for free databases) and commented out crontab: $ cat /etc/cron.d/geoip #...@weekly root /usr/bin/geoipupdate #...@monthly root /usr/bin/geoipfreeupdate And move *.dat to /var, because it doesn't look like a static data. $ cat /usr/local/sbin/geoipfreeupdate #!/bin/sh exec 2> /dev/null DATADIR="/usr/share/GeoIP" GUNZIP="/bin/gunzip" MAXMINDURL="http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/"; WGET="/usr/bin/wget -q -O -" TMPDIR="/tmp" if [ ! -d "$DATADIR" ] then echo "Data directory $DATADIR/ doesn't exist!" exit 1 fi if [ ! -w "$DATADIR/GeoIP.dat" -o ! -w "$DATADIR/GeoIPCity.dat" ] then echo "Can't rewrite $DATADIR/*.dat files!" exit 1 fi cd /tmp $WGET $MAXMINDURL/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz | $GUNZIP > GeoIP.dat if [ $? != 0 ] then echo "Can't download a free GeoLite Country database!" exit 1 fi $WGET $MAXMINDURL/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz | $GUNZIP > GeoIPCity.dat if [ $? != 0 ] then echo "Can't download a free GeoLite City database!" exit 1 fi mv -f GeoIP.dat GeoIPCity.dat $DATADIR/ if [ $? != 0 ] then echo "Can't move databases file to $DATADIR/" exit 1 fi exit 0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
