Hi Robie,

Thank you for you review.

Regarding the additional change for Focal (change-download-to-dbip.patch), the script it patches (geoip/xt_geoip_dl) is completely broken in 3.8-1 and 3.8-2.

The URL it uses to download the geoip from maxmind doesn't work anymore, and the build script which uses the database ('geoip/xt_geoip_build') has been changed in v3.8 to use DBIP. So even if it worked the downloaded database files would be useless.

So it seems safe to make this change in Focal as well as users can't use the download script currently.
