Description

While following the GeoDjango installation instructions for MacOS, I encountered the following error regarding libgeoip, an alternative name for geoip per the Homebrew Formulae page.

$ brew install libgeoip
Error: geoip has been disabled because it has an archived upstream repository! It was disabled on 2024-12-12.
