Note also that osm.org doesn't use osm2pgsql for expiring tiles, they have a custom script that doesn't look at relations. The reason for it is that some edits to large relations can expire a lot of tiles IIRC. I can't recall where the script is but it's some ruby script in OSM SVN. _______________________________________________ Maps-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/maps-l
