Hi Jürgen, I think it is acceptable to apply this to trunk, even with the risk of breaking something major. At some point such bigger changes need to be tested. The current trunk is still young and far away from the release of version 1.8 or whatever the successor will be called. I'd be

Hi, Just a short remark , quoting one item of the must needed list posted by Paolo C. yesterday in the user list: automatic testing. In agile programming, you write the tests before implementing new features. Then you track the bugs at the source. Ideally, very few bugs hit the beta-testers

Hi Jürgen If that's ok, I'd revisit the issue. +1. Between 1.7 and 2.0 is the best time to introduce such changes. Regards, Marco Am Montag, 6. Juni 2011, 17.24:00 schrieb Jürgen E. Fischer: Hi Andreas, On Mon, 06. Jun 2011 at 16:21:34 +0200, Andreas Neumann wrote: If this patch still

Hi, If this patch still works I would vote for applying it to trunk. It is sad that one cannot load data with long id integer primary keys. OSM is certainly an important enough community or data source to justify the application of this patch. Or would it require a lot of additional work

Hi, I suggest you try osm2postgresql, which converts bigint into int4 to be compatible with QGIS and works fine so far. To simplify rendering with QGIS, the osm2postgresql script sets up a PostgreSQL database, imports OSM data into it and process those data (including multi-polygons with holes).
