           Summary: Setup geoip server for geoclue
    Classification: Infrastructure
           Product: sysadmin
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

     GNOME version: ---


While geoclue is theoretically on fdo infra, its very much gnome project
(especially since KDE doesn't make use of it). Currently geoclue uses
freegeoip.net but that has usage restrictions that are not feasible for gnome.
We better have our own geoip server and for that we need to setup the server
side of geoclue on gnome.org, preferably geolocation.gnome.org or
geoip.gnome.org.

I talked to Andrea Veri about this already during GUADEC (among other people)
and he was fine with it and asked if you could provide a rpms for the server.
Thanks to Kalev, the packages are now available in F20 repositories. Let me
know if you need direct links and I'll get those for you.
