I tried to uncompress the latest planet last night (first time in quite a while) which failed when the disk on my hand-me-down dev box was full :-(
Would be helpful if those with planet experience could share your current method of processing and analysing planet and the amount of disk and memory you think is the current minimum. For instance, do all the tools require an uncompressed planet (I'm thinking osmosis I guess now?). Also any guidance on free HDD space size and memory settings when processing planet and also if importing it into a blank mysql database. Is import of the whole planet into the rails database scheme a workable option for an individual anymore? These are questions that were not really an issue 6 months ago when planet was so much smaller. I appreciate once I have got back up to speed I could be using the diff files to limit requirements. Specifically I wanted to be working on two aspects over the festive season. 1. some evaluation of the rails stuff now that I have a working rails port 2. some tag analysis and user stats stuff Any help appreciated.
