Nick Mathewson 0d4237839b Rust tool to convert IPFire Location dump into CSV format.
The IPFire people provide a tool that collects data from several
top-level sources, combines it into a single database, and annotates
it with optional overrides.  This tool transforms the "dump" format
of their database into the form Tor expects.

To generate new geoip files, you'll need to install the
libloc/"location" tool provided by https://location.ipfire.org/.
I personally build it with:
./configure CFLAGS='-g -O2' --disable-perl --without-systemd --prefix=/opt/libloc
make
make install
Then (after adjusting PATH and PYTHONPATH) you can get the latest
dump with:
location update
location dump geoip-dump.txt
And transform it into geoip files with
cargo run --release -- -i geoip-dump.txt
==============================
Note that the current version "0.1.9" of rangemap has a performance
bug, making this tool quite slow. Previous versions had a
correctness bug that made the output needlessly long. With luck,
there will soon be a fast correct rangemap version.
