Version 2.5.0 was deleted from apt repository.

Guys,

This is not serious.
We are paying customer who uses GeoIP DB. You just deleted version 2.5.0 (2.5.0-0+maxmind1~xenial) from APT repository and only left there 3.0.0 (3.0.0-0+maxmind1~xenial) without updating before it happens.
It just broke things..
Please return it ASAP.

We released 3.0.0, which is available from the PPA. Launchpad automatically removes old versions when a new version is released. This is out of our control. What specifically broke?

[themoah]

@oschwald 3.0.0 has breaking changes (configuration - structure of file), thus installing geoipupdate brings us version that won't work.

So if you say, that release of newer version deletes older one and it is

This is out of our control

Please tell your customers that you are planning to roll out new version with some time ahead, so we could adopt to the changes.

How is the configuration breaking for you in particular?

[themoah]

@oschwald scenario:

1. we spin up new instance (not manually, via code), it installs geoipupdate with pre-configured by us configuration.
2. we run geoipupdate for the first time to bring latest (fails) and add it to cron (will fail).
3. our applications rely on this GeoIP DB. (we are paying customer).

@themoah, thanks. I am still not completely clear on how it is breaking, but we did release 3.0.1 that fixes an issue with the exit code when there are no updates available. Would you be able to try this?

If not, could you run geoipupdate with the -v flag and provide the output?

Thanks!

[oschwald]

If you provide the output from -v, please be sure to not include your license key, which may appear in the output.

Looks like 3.0.1 fixed it.
