36988	Limitation of supported GeoIP databases is too tight	Raphael Michel	SnippyCodes	"Starting in Django 5.1, Django ships with a [list of allowed GeoIP database types](https://github.com/django/django/blame/main/django/contrib/gis/geoip2.py):

{{{
SUPPORTED_DATABASE_TYPES = {
    ""DBIP-City-Lite"",
    ""DBIP-Country-Lite"",
    ""GeoIP2-City"",
    ""GeoIP2-Country"",
    ""GeoLite2-City"",
    ""GeoLite2-Country"",
}
}}}

It seems weird that Django seems to be enforcing where I am getting my databases from. We've always been using the database freely available from [here](https://github.com/geoacumen/geoacumen-country), which has the type ""Geoacumen-Country"".

Is it really intended that I need to monkeypatch Django to use this GeoIP database from a source that is not known to Django? Should this list extensible in some official way?"	Bug	assigned	GIS	6.0	Normal				Accepted	1	0	0	1	0	0
