 Priority:  normal       |   Milestone:  Tor: post 0.2.2.x
Component:  Tor Relay    |     Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 With the recent change from ip-to-country to free Maxmind, relays can
 report very different country statistics in their extra-info descriptors.
 While it's possible to guess which GeoIP database was used from the
 running Tor version, operators can manually override the default GeoIP
 database and use their own database. Relays should include a unique
 identifier of the used database, which can be the shasum of the geoip
 file.
