Closed issue by user318 on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/16216
Description:
Hello,
Currently libgeoip depends on geoip-data. But as I understand, data is not strictly required for the lib - you can get your own data anywhere. So now, for example, when I try to install nginx on a small system, I get this:
```
geoip-data install - 20171002_2 25MB
libgeoip install - 1.6.12_1 56KB
nginx install - 1.16.1_1 347KB
```
As you can see geoip-data takes up a huge part of packages install even if I do not need it. I think it is a bad practice and geoip-data should be removed from the dependencies of libgeoip.
