Description of problem: geoip module no longer supported as of nginx-1.16.1-1. Recent update shows this in yum.log: /var/log/yum.log:81:Nov 03 18:36:05 Installed: 1:nginx-1.16.1-1.el7.x86_64 /var/log/yum.log:105:Nov 03 18:41:48 Erased: 1:nginx-mod-http-geoip-1.12.2-3.el7.x86_64 geoip support should not be removed until a suitable replacement is added e.g. geoip2
My recommendation is to close this as CANTFIX because if you read into the history there really is no choice.
Hi, What do you think about geoip2 support? There is a COPR repository where mtorromeo created a dynamic module: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mtorromeo/nginx-modules-el7/package/nginx-mod-geoip2/
I have decided to not include 3rd party source code in the nginx package build process. I do, however, have enabled the --with-compat build flag in the nginx package, so it should be easy for people to build separate packages with the dynamic module.
