[ITA] GeoIP, GeoIP-database, geoipupdate

[Brian Inglis <Brian.Inglis@SystematicSW.ab.ca>]

I would like to adopt and revive the above packages with the last ("unofficial") 
version of the legacy code committed noted in the ChangeLog as 1.7.0, and a new 
upstream source for legacy format free databases converted when the official 
current upstream databases are updated.

Is there any easy way of overridding package version from
ac_init_version without patching configure.ac?

As part of this upgrade, the geoipupdate source and databases are no longer 
available, so the new upstream database source update script becomes a new 
database subpackage and script geoipupdate, and the old geoipupdate source, 
binary, and debuginfo packages should become obsolete.

Is there anything special required to replace a source package and binaries with 
a binary subpackage?

GeoIP-database	Geographic IP Lookup (databases)

Existing source package:

Updated cygport:

https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/GeoIP-database/tree/?h=playground

Scallywag runs:

GeoIP-database	Geographic IP Lookup (databases)

GeoIP finds geographic and network locations of an IP address.
These databases are extracts of free GeoLite2 data from Maxmind 
https://www.maxmind.com/ and are less accurate than the commercial databases.

geoipupdate	Geographic IP Lookup (database update utility)

geoipupdate database updater script downloads the latest available data
and updates the installed files.
The script may be run manually, from a login profile script, as a cron
job, or from an MS Windows Scheduled Task.

For more information see the project home page:

This package will rarely be updated as the data changes weekly and the
database updater script geoipupdate will keep the data current.
