===Installation and Updating===
Because the databases have been updated new perl modules are required to support GeoIP v2. The core modules have a large number of dependencies and we have decided that it is not practical for the Koozali team to maintain them all.

As a result you will now need the OpenFusion repo to install smeserver-geoip We will be syncing their mirror in due course to speed up installs and updates.

This contrib adds a template to /etc/crontab to automatically update the database once a month. It's set to do so at midnight on the 5th of each month. If you have a paid subscription through the maintainer of this database (http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoipupdate/) you can update more often. If you do want to update more often, you will have to create a custom template to handle the change. In addition, you will be supplied login credentials that have to be inserted into the file /etc/GeoIP.conf for the update to complete. The file is not templated so it will survive reboots. Use your favorite text editor to insert the information into this file.

==== More info on openfusion repo config ====
The openfusion repo now includes a number of packages as includes and Excludes, this is to prevent inadvertent system updates occurring when updating the old v1 DB package resulting in unstable or inaccessible systems, this is all they are for. These can be seen here:
db yum_repositories show openfusion
