How to apply an OsmChange?

2

Hi all,

I've recently met an error while trying to save changes in Potlatch 2, saying that I was trying to upload an older version of a way. Being unable to solve the conflict, I have saved into a file the changes I was about to upload (an osmChange with placeholders), but now is there a way to upload them to the main database?

Thanks a lot!

When it happened to me I edited the osmchange file to remove the conflict manually and used Upload.py to upload the result. That's a process that's not for the fainthearted though - if that looks complicated you might want to contact someone on IRC and ask for help there.

Uploading with JOSM also seems to be possible (but also not trivial since the data errors need to be fixed and the file be slightly adjusted) - see question upload-potlatch2-xml-raw-data-using-josm.
