Problem

The data repository now holds this repository's files, and this repository is to be archived. Its README still describes this repository as the place to get the IP Intelligence evidence, scripts and Lite data file, so anyone who lands here after the archive would follow instructions for files that are kept elsewhere.

What changed

README.md is replaced with a short notice. Nothing else changes. The notice says

  1. that the repository is archived and kept read-only,
  2. that its Asn data file, evidence files, country codes, country name translations, scripts and tests are now in the ip-intelligence folder of data,
  3. how to get the free data files from data, following the Get the data files section of data's README,
  4. which repositories now hold the examples and APIs that used the files.

Checked

  • Every file on rc f7910045 was compared with data at main 3c06a897 by blob hash. CountryCodes.json, the 17 files in Translations, evidence.csv, evidence.yml, geoip_comparison_evidence.csv, evidence-gen.ps1, get-lite-file-from-azure.ps1, get-lite-file-from-azure.sh, ci/run-unit-tests.ps1 and tests/check-dl-script.tests.ps1 are identical in ip-intelligence. 51Degrees-IPIV4AsnIpiV41.ipi is a .link file there, which the data scripts download from. LICENSE, .github/workflows/only-rc-into-main.yml and .github/workflows/utm-link-lint.yml are identical at data's root. README.md differs from data's ip-intelligence/README.md, which describes that folder, and .github/workflows/unit-tests.yml is the only file with no counterpart.
  • The ten repositories in the notice are public and not archived, and each carries both Device Detection and IP Intelligence.
  • The notice has no 51degrees.com link, so the UTM convention has nothing to apply to.

Checks on head ad00bb4

This repository's pull request checks are its build, and all three passed.

What remains

  • Once this merges into rc, an rc into main draft releases it, so the notice is on main before the repository is archived. The last rc into main, #45, merged at 15:00 UTC on 12 November.
  • #43, which moves the two download scripts to the Distributor, is still an open draft. Archiving the repository leaves it open and read-only, and the identical scripts in data still download from Azure blob storage, so that change would need to be made in data instead.

The files and scripts are now in the data repository. The notice says
where they went, how to get the free data files from there, and which
repositories now hold the examples and APIs that used them.
