Name        : GeoIP
Product     : Fedora 18
Version     : 1.4.8
Release     : 4.fc18
URL         : http://www.maxmind.com/app/c
Summary     : Library for country/city/organization to IP address or hostname mapping
Description :
GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country that any IP
address or hostname originates from. It uses a file based database that is
accurate as of February 2009. This database simply contains IP blocks as keys,
and countries as values. This database should be more complete and accurate
than using reverse DNS lookups.

Update Information:

This is a general clean-up update:

* `libGeoIPUpdate` and `geoipupdate` are GPL-licensed, not LGPL-licensed
* Generic INSTALL file is no longer included
* Redundant RPATHs in 64-bit binaries are removed
* Documentation re-coded to UTF8
