Please include GeoIP2 module.

[Thomas Ward]

Due to the MaxMind legacy format of geoip free libraries being dropped, anyone who does not pay for MaxMIND won't be able to use the in-built GeoIP module in NGINX.

A third party module exists for GeoIP2 support. https://github.com/leev/ngx_http_geoip2_module

Please include this.

Notes:

This was given a cursory review for Universe inclusion by Seth Arnold at my request, and was ACK'd for being added and included in the packages targeting Universe (-full, -extras, where GeoIP was already included).

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package nginx - 1.15.12-0ubuntu1

---------------
nginx (1.15.12-0ubuntu1) eoan; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release (1.15.12) - full changelog available from
    http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES
  * Remaining Ubuntu-specific changes:
    - debian/patches/ubuntu-branding.patch: add Ubuntu branding (refreshed)
    - d/{control,rules,nginx-core.*}: add new binary package for main,
      nginx-core, which contains only source-tarball-included modules
      and no third-party modules.
    - debian/tests/control: add nginx-core test.
    - debian/apport/source_nginx.py: Add apport hooks for additional bug
      information gathering.
    - debian/nginx-common.install: Add install rule for apport hooks.
    - d/nginx-{core,light,full,extras}.postinst: Add checks for whether
      port 80 is in use or not to determine whether or not to attempt
      starting of the NGINX service during install/upgrade
    - d/control: Add dependencies to nginx-{core,light,full,extras} on
      `iproute2` as the postinst scripts now use `ss` to determine if

      flavors
  * Add GeoIP2 third party module to nginx-full and nginx-extras
    (LP: #1825895). The following is the files list for this:
    - d/{control,rules}: Add libnginx-mod-http-geoip2 and corresponding build
      rules.
    - d/modules/http-geoip2{,/*}: Add geoip2 module from third party git.
    - d/copyright: Add relevant copyright lines for GeoIP2 module.
