Hi,

geoip version 1.6.2-2 and geoip-database version 20141027-1 are now available in Debian unstable/sid, with some news of more free databases available :)

geoip changes:

   * Add patch for geoip-csv-to-dat to add support for building GeoIP city DB.
     Many thanks to Andrew Moise for contributing!
   * Add and install geoip-generator-asn, which is able to build the ASN DB. It
     is a modified version from the original geoip-generator. Much thanks for
     contributing also to Aaron Gibson!
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.6 (no changes required).

geoip-database changes:

   * New upstream release.
   * Add new databases GeoLite city and GeoLite ASN to the new package
     geoip-database-extra. Also bump build depends on geoip to 1.6.2-2.
   * Switch to xz compression for the orig tarball.

So much thanks to both contributors!

Hello,

I have decided to create fixed bash packages for Debian Lenny. I have applied the upstream patchsets from from 052 until 057, so some other issues are also addressed in it. :-)
And here they are:

Source .dsc: http://misc.linux-dev.org/bash_shellshock/bash_3.2-4.1.dsc
amd64 package: http://misc.linux-dev.org/bash_shellshock/bash_3.2-4.1_amd64.deb
i386 package: http://misc.linux-dev.org/bash_shellshock/bash_3.2-4.1_i386.deb

Much fun with it!
