Osmosis is executed to generate the replication diffs. What is it doing exactly? asked 14 Jul '10, 15:54  emka retagged 14 Jul '10, 16:29  petschge |
One Answer:
The replication diffs are created using Osmosis. The option used is '--replicate-apidb'. answered 14 Jul '10, 16:22  Firefishy ♦♦ |
Is help.openstreetmap.org really the place for in-depth technical discussions? The answer to this question would have to go into details of PostgreSQL transactions and the like, to a degree where anyone who can understand the answer can also read and understand the source code. IMHO we should keep help.openstreetmap.org end-user facing, not technical-geek-facing.
Where would you draw the border?
Have a look at the first two questions for example: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/1 https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/2
An answer containing the SQL commands would already help, reading a huge bunch of Java source code is too much for me right now.
Careful with the first few questions - they were half-serious and half-just testing the system.
As for whether this is the place for in-depth technical discussion? No, certainly not. But ideally the documentation should exist somewhere, for example the wiki, and then the answer here can simply point towards it and provide a summary. It's not supposed to be that the answers here will be canonical, it's fine to have links for further reading.
I'm interested in the answer as well. How are the transaction-id's taken from?
