patching configure.ac?

In this update, 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?

Below are links to existing source packages, build repos, scallywag
runs, and updated package info.


Geographic IP Lookup utilities, development, and runtime

Existing source package:

Geographic IP Lookup utilities, development, and runtime

GeoIP finds geographic and network locations of an IP address.

For more information see the project home page:

	https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c

See below for details of changes:

GeoIP-database	Geographic IP Lookup (databases)

Existing source package:

https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/GeoIP-database-src.html

Updated cygport:

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

Scallywag runs:

https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?srcpkg=GeoIP-database

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:

	https://mailfud.org/geoip-legacy

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