  Description : Fast and flexible C++ library for working with

The Osmium Library has extensive support for all types of OSM entities: nodes,
ways, relations, and changesets. It allows reading from and writing to OSM
files in XML and PBF formats, including change files and full history files.
Osmium can store OSM data in memory and on disk in various formats and using
various indexes. Its easy to use handler interface allows you to quickly write
data filtering and conversion functions. Osmium can create WKT, WKB, OGR, GEOS
and GeoJSON geometries for easy conversion into many GIS formats and it can
assemble multipolygons from ways and relations.

Osmium is a header-only library, so there is nothing to compile to build it.
Just include the header files you need.


This package is part of the new Osmium family superseding the existing osmium
source package. The new Osmium family consists of libosmium,
node-osmium, pyosmium, osmium, osmium-contrib & osmcoastline.

The packages for the Osmium family will be maintained in the Debian GIS team.

Hello.

This isn't a direct answer to your question about CUT, but might be of 
some help.


I've been using Debian testing as a kind of rolling release since Lenny 
on my four most important systems. (I just use "testing" in place of the 
code word -- lenny, squeeze, wheezy, jessie, etc. --in 
/etc/apt/sources.list.)


On rare occasions I've had to scramble for a few minutes to regain lost 
functions when a package upgrade has resulted in malfunction of one part 
of the system or another, but none of the systems has ever been 
down-and-out for more than the few minutes it takes to find out what's 
wrong and reconfigure to fix it. This has even been the case when it 
comes time for the distro upgrade that happens when testing becomes the 
new stable.


I'd suggest that it's best to upgrade a system configured in this manner 
daily. This makes the changes more incremental instead of sweeping. 
Longer periods between upgrades might make troubleshooting a new issue 
pretty tough to do since you'd have a lot more package changes to sort 
through to find a culprit.


Reading the development and announcement lists is very helpful in 
knowing what to expect. And using apt-listchanges and apt-listbugs along 
with aptitude's interactive TUI during each daily upgrade has made the 
upgrading and troubleshooting process very logical and easy to do, in my 
experience.


Obviously, during a freeze (like the one for Jessie now) you see far 
fewer package upgrades which are much less likely to cause functional 
issues.


The braver souls run Sid / experimental as a kind of rolling release. 
That, I think, requires quite a bit more savvy in the use of techniques 
like pinning and other manipulations of apt's configuration. But it 
provides a more consistent access to later versions of all of the 
software packages and their new features.


So, maybe you can set up your own personal rolling release? It is more 
work on a routine basis that running stable, but I've enjoyed doing it.


Good luck!

JP

That's what I am happily doing already couple of years ;)

Point of view of debian maintainer ;)
I am DM and I am caring about +/- 100 small packages ... during a freeze
time I shouldn't upload new upstream releases to unstable.
And as DM I can't upload to experimental.
So there is waiting quite a lot of work for me when new debian is released.
Situation is even worse if your new version of package depends on new
upstream version of package maintained by somebody else ...
Everybody doing the same ... holding new releases.

>From time to time (in freeze time) I am getting emails from upstreams if I
am still maintaining their package ... because they released month ago and
I still didn't update.
Sometimes in freeze time I am getting  emails from Ubuntu users which wants
to have new upstream version in upcoming Ubuntu release.
And I sometimes hear opinion from upstreams (but not only them) that debian
shipping old releases and is slow on updating and thus not best for users
which needs fresh upstream releases.

So that's why I think CUT - rolling release debian would be great
improvement for "certain users" probably desktop users and maintainers too.

When things are 'normal', testing actually *is* a rolling release, except
that Debian people like to use words to mean what they actually mean and
not what some over enthusiastic booster wishes.

> 
> Good luck!

My comment to OP:

I've been using Debian since Potato. I love it, but you should have at
least two computers running Debian, and be able to spend a few hours
or days with one of them non-functional, for the following reason:

After a release of a new stable, i.e. a distribution baring a code
name, such as Woody, or Jessie, the pre-release freeze on
non-release-critical packages is un-frozen and a flood of package
updates, etc. arrive in 'testing'. IMHO, one should avoid doing upgrades
just to keep uptodate. Its best to wait for the flood to subside. But
how will you know? And how long can you wait with your only computer in
a non-bootable state? If you know about this, which might not be the case,
be warned and have a plan. With only one computer, and it broken, it is
hard to get help from this list. It might be a disaster.

OTOH, it might be a good excuse to rush out and buy newer, fancier
computer. ;-)

Or, use btrfs.  Put your / onto a subvolume named sys-current, and have the
following cronjob:
# btrfs subv snap sys-current backups/sys-`date +%Y-%m-%d`

Whenever shit happens, such as, say, an upload of xorg that takes two weeks
for nvidia drivers to get back into a functional state, you do:
# mv sys-current sys-broken && btrfs subv snap backups/sys-2015-03-07 
sys-current
then reboot[1].  Even if things broke so bad you can't boot, simply edit the
grub entry to include subvol=backups/sys-2015-03-07 on the kernel's
commandline and you're set.

Such a scheme makes using unstable so much nicer that I wonder why it's not
an option in the d-i.  Perhaps we should discuss it[2] and implement it
post-jessie?


[1]. Can't delete the bad version immediately as you're using it currently.

[2]. Besides separate /home (duh), you'll want to reduce the size of backups
by separating out /var/cache, make sure noatime is set, etc.

Right DM is not allowed to upload to a suite where there's no package
already.
So first you need to ask some DD to upload your package to experimental for
you than DM can upload too.

This isn't a direct answer to your question about CUT, but might be of
some help.
I've been using Debian testing as a kind of rolling release since Lenny on
my four most important systems



That's what I am happily doing already couple of years ;)



Oops! I completely misinterpreted your situation and your question. I 
might have understood better had I noticed that I was replying to 
someone on debian-devel and not on the user list.



Point of view of debian maintainer ;)
I am DM and I am caring about +/- 100 small packages ... during a freeze
time I shouldn't upload new upstream releases to unstable.
And as DM I can't upload to experimental.
So there is waiting quite a lot of work for me when new debian is released.
Situation is even worse if your new version of package depends on new
upstream version of package maintained by somebody else ...
Everybody doing the same ... holding new releases.


From time to time (in freeze time) I am getting emails from upstreams if I

am still maintaining their package ... because they released month ago and
I still didn't update.
Sometimes in freeze time I am getting  emails from Ubuntu users which wants
to have new upstream version in upcoming Ubuntu release.
And I sometimes hear opinion from upstreams (but not only them) that debian
shipping old releases and is slow on updating and thus not best for users
which needs fresh upstream releases.

So that's why I think CUT - rolling release debian would be great
improvement for "certain users" probably desktop users and maintainers too.


Very interesting. Thank you for explaining this to me. I have to agree 
that a concept like CUT is appealing. I'd jump on a rolling release like 
this immediately if it were available.


Thank you again for the explanation. I'll follow the discussion with 
interest.


Regards,
JP
