Recent tarballs unreadable by older tar implementations about maxmind-db HOT 4 CLOSED

This should be resolved in this week's release.

Thanks for reporting this. I think that this will be corrected for next week's database releases, so I'm going to close this out. If you find that there are still issues after next week's databases are out, please let us know via [email protected].

This seems to have been fixed on the Country but not the City file, can you also correct the city file:

I can confirm the issue I originally reported has been resolved for the GeoLite2 Country, City and ASN databases.

Thanks!
