Re: [talk-au] New tile rendering server (Experimental)

2013-08-12 Thread Hamish Campbell
HI Grant,

Wondering if this is related, there seem to be a few faulty tiles:

E.g.: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-46.080780029296875&lon=167.288818359375&zoom=10

Zoom in and out - the woodland cover is there, but not rendered at some 
zoom levels for specific tiles.

Likely, or should I file a bug elsewhere?

Likely old cached tiles showing. Create a permalink and try a browser refresh.

The best location for reporting bugs with the stylesheet is:

This is unrelated to OpenCycleMap.
OpenCycleMap is a separate project by Andy Allan (gravitystorm)

Does that mean it will be easier (therefore more likely) to improve the
rendering of OpenCyclemap? That would be good.

Hopefully you shouldn't see any difference. :-)

It is a large behind the scenes change on how we produce the default
map tiles (view) for OpenStreetMap.org

The old map stylesheet was a mass of difficult to understand XML. The
new map stylesheet is completely re-written in a much cleaner CartoCSS
syntax. Easier to maintain and improve, it is also easier to customise
it for other projects. Andy Allan's talk explains it better than I
could to:
[5]http://vimeopro.com/openstreetmapus/state-of-the-map-us-2013/video/6
8093876

We have also changed the server infrastructure used for rendering the
map tiles. The old server was becoming very complicated to maintain
and administer due to the many layers of complexity, code, and
undocumented hacks built up over time. The new server is setup using
an automated "devops" system (opscode chef). The chef cookbook we
wrote is here:
[6]http://git.openstreetmap.org/chef.git/tree/HEAD:/cookbooks/tile

Grant

Hi Oceania (Talk-AU and nzopengis),

I have just switched the default OpenStreetMap.org “Mapnik style” map
tiles for tile.openstreetmap.org in the Oceania region across to our
new rendering server.

The new rendering server has been tested and is now ready for
production. We’re migrating traffic over region-by-region and the
Oceania region is the first to go live. The countries in the Oceania
region affected are those with dark green links on this map:
[4]http://dns.openstreetmap.org/tile.openstreetmap.org.html

In addition to new hardware, the rendering server also uses the new
“openstreetmap-carto” stylesheets. These are a complete re-write of
the XML stylesheets to use CartoCSS, making them easier for our
cartographers to work with.

Andy Allan’s great talk at State of the Map US described the reason
for the stylesheet re-write:
[5]http://stateofthemap.us/saturday.html#schedule/saturday/putting-the-
carto-into-openstreetmap-cartography

The map tiles will be slightly slower at medium-high zooms while the
server builds up its cache. The style is designed to look the same as
the current XML stylesheet.

The “openstreetmap-carto” stylesheet is maintained here:
[6]https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto

Big Thank you to #osm-dev for helping draft this announcement.

Kind regards
