[OSM-dev] No ways

[Simon Nuttall]

I have used Osmosis 0.18 to extract a bounding-box of Cambridge, uk using

./osmosis --read-xml file="planet-api05-070927.osm.bz2"
compressionMethod="bzip2" outPipe.0="alltags" enableDateParsing="no"
--bounding-box inPipe.0="alltags" outPipe.0="sometags" left=0.09
right=0.18 top=52.25 bottom=52.17 --write-xml inPipe.0="sometags"
file="cambridge.osm"

It took about an hour on my pc and produced a 1.7MB file.

But the file contained only nodes and relations, and no ways. Is this
a known issue?

Also, I've tried to import the file into a mysql database, but the
schema on bretth's site is only at version 6, whereas osmosis requires
version 8.
