I'd like to apologize on behalf of MaxMind for breaking your CI build. Let me assure you as a fellow programmer, I know how frustrating that can be! As you saw we've tried to reach out to the larger open source projects using GeoLite2 in advance, but we've not had time to give as much notice as we would like.
The CCPA was finalized in October, and it contains a number of ambiguities, particularly as it relates to our products. To arrive at our current interpretation, it has taken many weeks of working with privacy lawyers, following discussions in the privacy community, and observing actions other companies have taken. We're sorry for the timing, appreciating the frustration it causes, and wish we could have provided more notice.
With regard to the regular updating of the database automatically, I recommend you take a look at our own tool for automatically downloading the latest database: GeoIP Update https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoipupdate/
