Thanks, I "sudo get" it. :) The resulting .zip file at the end contains the 'version#' of the conversion script.
Considering that it will be out of 'beta' soon, the only updates of the script will be every 6 months, as the CanVec source file attributes might change. Changing the 'source' tag to "canvec-to-osm_import_2010". (so the files will be available to copy-in or 'autoMatch-in' to OSM at anytime) Therefore, i think its best to omit the version # and use the 'canvec feature catelogue version/subversion # instead, so it will be easy to cross-reference) ... Or is it better to keep it, since the 'admin' already has a copy of the source shp file on the hard drive?. Although a 'download /update' line can be added at the begining, to look at the ftp site that contains the 'older converted file' and compare dates. :start IF source_canvec_zip is newer than converted converted canvec_osm.zip then goto run if source_canvec_zip is older than converted_canvec_osm.zip then goto skip :run echo convert files with canvec'2' or 'too' osm wizardry magic & a little postGISmess for fun start /wait c:\canvec-to-osm.bat goto end :skip echo that was easy! goto end :end exit On 11/9/09, Richard Weait <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 9:48 PM, Sam Vekemans > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Anyway, the wiki needs a little clarification on how the script works, >> as well as a 'proper' explaination of this unique conversion process. > > Dear Sam, > > The script works roughly like this. > > Unzip a canvec zip file that has not yet been unzipped. > Read an uncommented entity type from the config file. > Use the matching shape file and rule file to make an osm file. > Repeat with this zipfile until end of configuration file. > Repeat until all canvec zip files have been processed. > > Best regards, > Richard > -- Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blog: http://Acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans OpenStreetMap IRC: http://irc.openstreetmap.org @Acrosscanadatrails _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
