Hi Daniel, I have now got the generate_xml.py program to update osm.xml by (from generate_xml.py -help): ./generate_xml.py osm.xml my_osm.xml --host localhost ...
the resulting file my_osm.xml does have the admin and placename layers as you mentioned, but running the generate_tiles.py command generates this error: proj_init_error:failed to initialize projection with:+init=epsg:4326 ... which probably just affect the necountries and nepopulated layers. The generated tiles still miss the purple world boundaries and place names. So I guess this is due to the partial osm data in my PostGIS database, is there a osm file which contains only the word boundaries for downloading?
