- can't package database in /var/lib/GeoIP anymore as it breaks with
transactional updates (boo#1093352). Ideally one would put the
static version in /usr/share with the files in /var overriding
that. Since GeoIP is considered deprecated in favor of
libmaxminddb anyways, we'll just ship GeoIP-data as empty shell to
own the files for uninstall.

Ok reviewed, discussed and now send to green life
@lnussel why not patch it to use /usr/share as prime location instead?
geoip-fetch wouldn't be able to update that

I don't have access to boo@1093352 can't package database in /var/lib/GeoIP anymore as it breaks with transactional updates (boo#1093352) And normally (at least on TW) /var is no more used in the snapshot ?
moved the bug. /var on separate subvolume exactly is the issue
Right I've read it in the inverse direction. Are we authorized to have package without license (cf file data ?
the files have no content so what license could a non existing content possibly have? :)
