I'll have a look at it but I don't want to get your hopes up :) One more question: The planet.osm contains all the changesets, the diffs don't. Are both of these 'dumps' generated with Osmosis? >> 3) >> * My initial import of OSMdoc data is done using a custom program. >> * The following data adjustments are done using the diff-files, the >> database (in a state as it was _before_ the diff), osmosis and an >> osmosis plugin >> * The initial import of OSM data is done using osmosis (--write-pgsql) >> >> As the minute-replicate diffs overlap (at least they used to do) the >> planet.osm dump it is best (..at least it used to be ;-) ) to create a >> "consistent" dump using the planet.osm and gradually applying diffs >> (using --apply-change) as there is no harm in applying changes that >> are already present in the planet.osm.
