#### Description
The `kamailio-geoip` RPM sub package currently builds both the `geoip` module - based on
[the old and out of support MaxMind GeoIP
library](https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c)
- and the newer `geoip2` module - based on [the currently supported
`libmaxminddb`](https://github.com/maxmind/libmaxminddb).
The old GeoIP C library had its end of support date at May 2022 but for a while was still
shipped for many distributions. At this point though, the EPEL repository that shipped the
GeoIP library for RHEL-based operating systems, has removed it from their repositories for
"Enterprise Linux 9":

Therefor builds using the bundled spec file fail on EL9 installations.
The suggested change is to add an RPM build option `--with geoip2` that when specified
will build just the `geoip2` module for the `kamailio-geoip` RPM subpackage. This build
option is not enabled by default, unless the build is running on a RHEL 9 based OS - in
which case it is set as the default, because otherwise trivial builds break. To revert to
the older behavior in RHEL 9 based OSs (and assuming you have the required unsupported
library installed correctly) one will need to set both `--without geoip2 --with geoip`.
