[OSM-talk] Duplicate nodes incorrectly removed by bot BugBuster ?

[Ruben Wisniewski]

Hi Apollinaris,

currently the bot only affects long ways which is an error which was
well discussed on #osm and #osm-de and
doubled nodes in a way which is for month a common check in validator
script of JOSM, which is used by many users.
Nobody ever complains about user edits which removed doubled nodes, and
the only thing which was discussed here
is that the importscript got errors.

So I don't see any reason why this bot do something wrong, it's the same
thing I would do if I got enouth time and
ressources with JOSM. Else it doesn't risk any informationloss because
it doesn't delete anything which is valid. It only
fixes the datastructure which might help routing applications and stuff
like that.


Greetings Ruben
