[osmosis-dev] Osmosis and Osmium-enhanced PBF files with way node locations

[Brett Henderson]

It's always nice to hear that your software is useful :-)  Thanks!  Yell
out if you run into any problems and I'll do my best to point you in the
right direction.

Cheers,
Brett

I think at this point, Osmosis code is running on our servers 24/7/365 doing various kinds of back-end processing for different groups around the world.

I am the author of Apache Wicket and I've stepped away from that project for what are probably similar reasons (OSS really does soak up time like mad!). So, I will spend some time developing a patch for OsmosisReader that supports this new location-enhanced format and I'll get in touch when my patch is ready for your review. With luck, I shouldn't have too many questions and the patch will be close to what you'd like. I figure I will just need to look at the proto files and maybe the osmium code and make the appropriate changes. Anyway, thanks for writing a great little library. I've had few if any problems with it and like I said, it powers a lot of what we do with OSM.
