[OSM-talk] Potlatch / API inconsistency?

2009-01-12 Thread Ted Mielczarek
I went to look at an area I edited last week in the Mapnik rendering, and
noticed it looked wrong. I thought maybe my edits hadn't been picked up
somehow, so I looked at the data view on the slippy map. It matched the
rendering. So I thought maybe Potlatch had failed me and not saved my edits.
I clicked Edit, and Potlatch showed the data as I remembered editing it.
So somehow Potlatch has a view of this data that doesn't match the API.
Anyone know what's gone wrong (and how to fix it)?

The dual trunk ways there should be roughly parallel. I believe the one with
the US 6 ref visible in that image is in the correct placement, and the
other one is the old TIGER data that I modified to be sh

Thanks,

Basically, if the server goes a bit boggly (under high load), it's  
possible for an operation to abort halfway through - because we don't  
have transactions - and so a way gets to contain deleted nodes.  
Potlatch and (from memory) the API history call will show the deleted  
nodes, the API map call won't. lists.osm.org appears to be down as I  
write this but it's been discussed several times in the past.

The easy fix is to edit the way with Potlatch, make some sort of  
change (maybe drag a point away, then back again), then deselect to  
force an upload.

Thanks, this appears to have worked.
