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.

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?

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.

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.
