What's the good way to get a freshly downloaded planet-latest.osm.pbf up to date as it's published once per week ?

EDIT: see next question please (reformulated as I did not have answers to the first one)

Hi,

I don't really understand what Osmosis 'maxInterval' configuration option does when using osmosis --read-replication-interval workingDirectory=. --simplify-change --write-xml-change changes.osc.gz.

My understanding is: it helps to merge multiple .osc.gz files available at the replication tree baseUrl to a merged changes.osc.gz file.

For instance, if Osmosis configuration options are set to

• maxInterval=345600 which corresponds to 1 week in seconds
• baseUrl=https://planet.osm.org/replication/day/

the behaviour will be: Osmosis get all available xxx.osc.gz daily changes at /replication/day/ for which the corresponding xxx.state.txt file

• indicates a sequenceNumber higher than the sequenceNumber of $osmosis_workind_dir_state.txt
• indicates a timestamp higher than the 'timestamp_1' of $osmosis_workind_dir_state.txt and lower than 'timestamp_1' + 345600

and then produce a changes.osc.gz file merging all these changes which are "simplified" (result file contains "a maximum of one change per entity"). With these settings, the limit is 7 .osc.gz daily changes for each Osmosis run.

Is it correct ?

Hope it is clear, thanks in advance.
