I have written a short, simple, and stupid program to remove all the ways and nodes from a .osm file that report with severity=normal from WTFE.
This was written for the specific purpose of building a clean coastline file and may not work for other uses. The code may be found at https://github.com/pnorman/cleanway Warnings: There is little sanity checking. It trusts that the OSM file is a valid OSM XML file generated by the API or jxapi. It downloads single-threaded. Large files are slow. It drops all tags from nodes. It drops all relations. It drops objects even if they might be able to reverted to a previous version. It builds a list in memory of objects to remove. This may lead to issues with memory on planet-sized files. It might not work well if you get a HTTP error. Features: Removes nodes and nodes from ways if they report as severity=normal Automatically accepts v1 objects which were not created by decliners Doesn't try to build a DOM, so it should work on large files Works in chunks of 50k objects _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
