That's correct. The osm.xml file isn't updated by this script. That's as designed. The script updates/creates 3 files in the inc/ directory with your settings. These files are included into the base osm.xml by the XML parser. > Then I followed the install.txt in manik/archive: [...] > ./customize-mapnik-map >$MAPNIK_MAP_FILE It isn't called 'archive' for nothing.

So, adding that "osm.xml my_osm.xml" bit is unnecessary, but doing it this way will create a single stylesheet file that's a combination of osm.xml and the files in inc/. If you're not planning to keep synched with svn, or don't mind doing this extra step everytime you run svn update, using a my_osm.xml copy of the stylesheet does no harm. Otherwise, syncing the style to OSM is a matter of only running 'svn up' and restarting your rendering script/tool. -- Lennard _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
