> a) > get Potlatch running I tried once fiddling with Potlatch, but there were quite a lot of problems geting flash to run on 64bit system and when I tested it on another 32bit system, the reactions were very slow (perhaps I was in area with many ways with many nodes, but I was unable to even get potlatch to display something, no chance to actually edit. I'd say unusable for me)
Hmmm .... but potlatch must have some way of querying for deleted ways - if it is not the main API, is it something documented somewhere? Some hidden API? Or should I try my luck with browsing through potlatch sources or perhaps using wireshark to find out? Perhaps such an API for querying deleted ways given a bbox could be added to 0.6 - I think there were many cases where something gets (accidentally) deleted and such API would allow restoring it quicker than browsing through planet dump or daily diffs. > > or > > b) > Retrieve lost data with planetosm-excerpt-tags.pl and > planetosm-excerpt-area.pl parsing an older worldfile (or better partly > file, if exist) containing the deleted items. > > The latter I did one time with my E6600 4GB RAM, SATA-disks, no raid. > Uncompress lasted several hours: 4,5GB => 92,2GB, the parsing about 1,5+ > days. Well, that is for one file. Though there are about 50MB dumps (which is reasonable size to process) for the affected country (actually, there are many of them, one for aproximately each week, so I'll have to browse through them to find one in which the way was created but not yet deleted), so maybe I'll give it a try if everything else fails.
