Comment(by nickm):
I think this is a plausible approach. It's annoyingly labor-intensive,
though. Here are some suggestions:
* As much as possible of the above (excluding downloading the files and
blockfinder) should be done with scripts; there should not be a 12-step
process that people need to do by hand whenever maxmind updates.
* It would be best to have some way to record the outcome of the manual
resolution decisions, and re-apply them, so that A) it's easy to document
which manual changes we made, and B) we don't need to resolve the same
conflict more than once. Could there be a file that contains the manual
changes that we re-apply to resolve conflicts?
> I'd need to know how we'd want to document a) the general approach
(basically what I described in this comment) and b) the manual changes.
The instructions for making the file should really in in a README.geoip
file distributed with the code. For documenting the manual changes, see
above.
