Provide package in PPA

[joshuaspence]

https://github.com/maxmind/libmaxminddb is avialable from ppa:maxmind/ppa but this package is not. Is it possible to add this package to the PPA so that we don't need to manually compile it?

Thanks for the idea. We may consider this in the future.

Is there any news on this?

I'm sure most of people still using legacy db just because they have 'apt-get install php*-geoip'

Will be awesome to get this extension without compiling, at least from your repository.

FWIW I've done a debian package branch:

https://github.com/wens/MaxMind-DB-Reader-php/tree/debian

It only contains the C extension, not the PHP files. I might setup a personal PPA to host it.

Any update on it?

https://launchpad.net/~sgreiner/+archive/ubuntu/maxminddb Here you find my unofficial ubuntu packages, I try to update them from time to time on supported distros.

I am going to go ahead and close this. Debian has the current version of this library, and I don't think we are in the best position to maintain high quality PHP deb packages. In most cases, you will be better of with what comes with the distribution.
