PostgreSQL changes
by River Tarnell 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am planning to replace Sun's PostgreSQL on ptolemy with our own Postgres package. If we stay with 8.3, this will only involve about 10 minutes downtime for the upgrade, and will be transparent to users. 8.3 is supported until February 2013, so there is no pressing need to upgrade. However, it might make sense to upgrade to a more recent version at the same time; either 8.4 or 9.0. This will require a dump and reload of all databases, so it will take a while to complete. As far as I know, there should be no (or very few) changes required to tools using the database. I don't have a strong opinion either way, although I think it makes sense to upgrade regularly rather than stay on the same version forever. Before I make a decision, it would be nice to know what people actually using the database think. - river. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkykOp8ACgkQIXd7fCuc5vJzUQCfft8efEoqirdTYJUmSEbFYW4D pLkAoLxoMl9y6ASc30hY/J3lpi2tGNiW =OuoM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Publishing Style-Files
by Peter Körner 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Hi I was asked more then one time now, if the map-styles rendered on the toolserver are opensource and where to get them. I was not able to answer those questions definitely. To get this cleared I'd suggest the following: All styles hosted on ptolemy will get copied into the osm project's home dir and published into its svn repository [1]. This way we have control over style changes and have a known location to check for the sources. Having control over style modifications is a good thing in our shared environment, because that way we'll know why tirex won't start after a modification. Are there any objections against collecting all style files under the osm account and publishing them into the svn? Unwe which license would the style files stand? Can the license be different for the styles or even be none-free? Peter [1] <http://svn.toolserver.org/svnroot/p_osm/>

Status-Update
by Peter Körner 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hi During the last weeks a lot of things happened to the tile-toolserver server. There's still progress going on but I'd like to give you a short status update: ptolemy now uses tirex instead of renderd This change was done last weekend, mainly for performance reasons, but it also enlarged the number of tools that are available to manage the rendering server (batch render & co.) Comprehensive tutorials on how a new style can be added to the tileserver are tbd. ptolemy is now visible in the munin graphs Some statistics of munin are now available at <http://munin.toolserver.org/OSM/ptolemy/index.html> but there are still some old in (renderd) as well as some missing (postgres) and some corrupted (replication_delay2). I'm working on consolidating the list of munin plugins and fixing the bugs. fallback for default style The default style which is visible by default on <http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/> is now using a fallback routine that makes the browser weitch to the osm.org tiles when our toolserver can't render the tiles quickly enough. At the moment there are lots of places where we don't have any tiles yet on the disk. Those areas need to be rendered completely out-of-nothing when a visitor first views that area. This fallback will help in making the period until we have a comprehensive set of pre-rendered tiles less painful for our visitors. Peter

by Peter Körner 08 Sep '10

Hi on the German list the need came up to link openlayers & co. from the toolserver directly instead of openlayers.org. I've put up recent versions of some libs i found useful at http://toolserver.org/~osm/libs/ If a lib is missing or an update is required, please mail this list. Peter

Distance-O-Meter
by Thomas Ineichen 08 Sep '10

Hi folks, I extended the Post-Box-Guesstimator[1] a bit: http://toolserver.org/~ti/distance-o-meter/ It can be used for displaying and checking things "that should have a certain density" like public phones or the famous dog-excrement-bag- dispenser[2]. Radii can be adjusted according to your needs. Regards, Thomas [1] http://toolserver.org/~mazder/pboxguesstimator/ [2] Wer hat's erfunden? Die Schweizer natürlich! http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robidog
