[OSM-talk] how long does it take from edit to slippy map?

[Barry Crabtree]

Hi

If I edit the map in any way - either though the applet or josm, sooner or
later an updated set of tiles will appear on the slippy map that reflect
those changes. Now...

I think there are some automated RSS feeds that flag up areas that have been
changed.

I know that I & a whole bunch of people are running tiles at home scripts that
probably turn around a request for a re-render to uploading the tiles in an
hour or so.

I guess that once those tiles are on the server they need to be moved to
where the slippy map can get at them.

Then the new tiles can shine though (caching problems notwithstanding).

So whats typical? If I get lucky could I see the changes in under an hour?

What I've outlined I think is for the osmarender layer, what about the
mapnik layer - how long does that take from edit to shiney new tile? Is that
typically faster?

Just curious.

Cheers. Baz.
