Please package AnonIp, a tool to anonymize IP addresses in log files.

This is a simple pur-Python application without any dependencies.


Description:

Anonip masks the last bits of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in log files.
That way most of the relevant information is preserved, while the IP
address does not match a particular individuum anymore.

Depending on your Web server, the log entries may be piped to Anonip
directly or via a FIFO (named pipe). Thus the unmasked IP addresses
will never be written to any file.

It's also possible to rewrite existing log files.

Anonip can also be uses as a Python module in your own Python
application.


All remaining required information can be found in the .spec-file
<https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=11168> or the Guix package definition
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=582de58c69bd46385196e26434951e1e2d5f32f2>.


Background
-----------------

This software is used by quite some providers in Europe since anonymizing IP addresses
is a GDPR requirement. Thus I want to spread it, so even "small" web server owners can
use it easily.
