[osmosis-dev] Another small Osmosis PBF problem

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

   whenever relations without userid are temporarily stored by Osmosis, 
they end up changed somehow.

If I take this file:

<osm version="0.6">
   <relation id="1" version="9" timestamp="2010-06-25T11:33:43Z" 
changeset="1" />
</osm>

and convert it to PBF:

osmosis --rx test.osm --write-bin test.osm.pbf

I end up with a 58 byte file that can be converted back to the above 
with either osmosis or pbf2osm.

But when I run

osmosis --rx test.osm --sort --write-bin test.osm.pbf

then the resulting file has 65 bytes. It can still be converted back to 
the above with osmosis, but if I run pbf2osm on it I get:

<osm version="0.6" generator="pbf2osm">
     <relation id="1" version="9" changeset="1" user="" uid="-1" 
timestamp="2010-06-25T11:33:43Z"/>
</osm>

Somehow the information that user ID and user name were unset has been 
lost when the relation was temporarily stored.

Can it be fixed?

Bye
Frederik
