+Scikit-build-core fork
+----------------------
+
+Setuptools is known for its poor backward compatibility. Some newer versions of
+setuptools fail to handle the metadata of the GeoIP package during the build
+process. This is a fork of the original GeoIP package that uses
+`scikit-build-core <https://scikit-build-core.readthedocs.io>`_ to build the C
+extension instead of setuptools.
