    * Package name : golang-github-oschwald-maxminddb-golang-v2
    Version : 2.0.0-1
    Upstream Author : Gregory Oschwald
    * URL : https://github.com/oschwald/maxminddb-golang
    * License : ISC
    Programming Lang: Go
    Description : MaxMind DB Reader for Go (v2)
    .
    This is a Go reader for the MaxMind DB format. Although this can be used
    to read GeoLite2 and GeoIP2 databases, geoip2-golang provides a higher-level
    API for doing so.
    .
    This is not an official MaxMind API.

    This is a depdendency of mmdbinspect, a tool to look up records for one or more IPs/networks in one or more .mmdb databases, that I plan to package as well. More details on mmdbinspect at: https://github.com/maxmind/mmdbinspect

    Note that src:golang-github-oschwald-maxminddb-golang already exists in Debian, but that's the v1, and it has 8 reverse build dependencies. v2 introduced some breaking changes, so better package it in a new package.

    The version 2.0.0, that I plan to package, is not yet released, so far it's only 2.0.0~beta.7. I will upload the package to Debian after 2.0.0 is released by upstream.

    This package will be maintained within the Go team.
