Description Ludwig Nussel 2019-11-07 17:19:12 UTC 
GeoIP has been discontinued by Maxmind. Please see
https://support.maxmind.com/geolite-legacy-discontinuation-notice/ for
details. Without the database GeoIP is useless. Therefore all users of GeoIP
have to either migrate to libmaxminddb or remove GeoIP support. The GeoIP
package itself will be dropped from Tumbleweed.
Comment 1 peter czanik 2019-11-25 07:51:35 UTC 
The package already supports libmaxminddb next to GeoIP. So, all it needs it removing the dependency to the GeoIP package. If the change can wait until mid December, then I'd do it with the next version upgrade. Version 2.25 of syslog-ng is expected to be released early December.
