Hello everyone,
as you all probably know, the osm_mapnik database is not being updated anymore since a while. About two months ago the database seems to have become corrupted, which in turn has unfortunately prevented diffs from being applied.
In order to get things up-to-date again and working more smoothly than before, the database needs to be freshly imported. During this re-import period the database will not be available for use.
As a full import will likely take several days plus an additional couple of days for the diffs to catch up, there will unfortunately be a bit of an extended downtime for the database. During this time postgresql will likely be updated and I would also like to use it to see if the database can be optimized further to give better performance than before.
To try and minimize disruption, I would like to ask who, or which tools, are currently using the osm_mapnik database? Is the downtime going to be an issue for anyone?
In return, we will hopefully have an up-to-date database again that can be kept up-to-date.
Kai
