Hi list,
In install_osm.sh in line 136 sample OSM data is downloaded and saved
as "Barcelona.osm.bz2".
Every installed software can make use of it, so pgRouting does for
example.
My question is:
Wouldn't it be a good idea to not call it "Barcelona.osm.bz2" but
something more generic like "sampledata.osm.bz2"?
Maybe not for this release, but probably for the next one for FOSS4G
in Denver it might be renamed to "Denver.osm.bz2" and every software
that makes use of the data has to make changes in the install scripts,
manuals, etc..
Daniel,
Sorry for the delayed response.
This is a good question, and something we discussed at the time we wrote
this script.
What was decided at the time was that we would change the sample data
when we moved location, but we would also access the data via a symbolic
link.
You will notice that we also have the following line in the script:
ln -s /usr/local/share/osm/Barcelona.osm.bz2 /usr/local/share/data/osm
My one concern is that we need to be careful to ensure that any
applications which use OSM data in examples update their Area of
Interest when the sample dataset changes.
