The question is how long would you be committed to wait for an upstream change to be implemented? Fixes for major bugs like here: https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/3558 can take a year. Not sure how requests for feature additions fare on average. But i think without an existing implementation being submitted as a pull request the chances are relatively small. It is commendable that Mapbox still does some basic maintainance and bugfixing there but this is hardly more than keeping the lights on. And any feature addition would also need support in Carto which - as Daniel already mentioned - is definitely and officially not maintained any more. It is all open source of course so anyone can pick up development but you need to ask yourself if this would be worthwhile of course. Both the technological and cartographic environment have changed a lot since these programs were originally designed. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
