Hey there. This is old hat to many of you, so i'm hoping that this may be quick to answer. I have a local copy of the OSM database that I want to keep in sync with what is in the OSM database. I see that there are diff files by planet diff, and diff files by osmosis (in the daily / hourly / minute folders). 1. What's the difference between these two diff approaches? 2. Is there a best practice approach to keeping in sync? 3. Are they interchangeable? (i.e. Can I use the daily diffs for a while, then swap over to the planet diff files and vice versa?) 3. How will API 0.6 affect this? Will I be able to reconcile the file I use now with the one I have to download after the deployment?
FYI: I am not using any OSM tools to do the import, i'm writing my own import code (i'm in a .Net environment, and I find it better for my understanding if I do this myself). I can figure out how the files work, I just need to know the high level stuff. Thanks for any insight Regards, Brendan _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
