It would be very sad if we would need to delete them.
AIUI, River was just asking who *could* free space, not pushing
anybody to do so for useful stuff.
Colin, how completed is the rendering of the
hillshading tiles? I remember
that it was still running on cassini when it got re-purposed.
I don't remember exactly, I got Europe and a part of Asia down to zoom
15, with parts down to 16 I think, and North America to zoom 14 or
some such. I always wanted to make the rendering dynamic (and then
never expire the tiles), but it would need a post-processing task in
either renderd or tirex (the latter seems a bit more suited for that
from what I read) for the alpha-channel stuff, and ideally do the
metatiling in the same step.
Cheers
Colin
