New Maintainer #58
Comments
Obviously really appreciate @pnorman for being awesome :-) |
@roelderickx maybe you interested? It would be good to maintain this as a general purpose tool. |
@suke-blog ^^^ |
First of all, I would like to thank @pnorman and all other contributors for their commitment on this project. Last week I noticed the quest for a new maintainer on the openstreetmap developer mailinglist and I already gave it a first thought. I am willing to continue the development and I believe I can free up enough time to maintain the project. As you probably already saw I needed specific functionalities for another project and I ended up rewriting ogr2osm to become ogr2pbf. That means I have a full understanding of the code, but since I am not a mapper my knowledge about the OSM file format is limited. I probably need to catch up with that first, as well as some basics on ogr datasources. Where I already took the project:
What needs to be done:
Any thoughts? Is there a specific direction you want this project to go? Are there primary use cases I need to familiarize with? |
I haven't done anything with ogr2osm in a few years, so I don't feel I should be setting any direction. I've invited roelderickx to this repository. I've given @roelderickx access. If we're going to continue with the current ogr2pbf code and rename it, I'd suggest renaming that repo and we can link from here to there. |
Thanks @pnorman Meanwhile the suggested changes are done in my fork: protobuf is not a mandatory dependency anymore, osm output is the default and the repository is renamed to ogr2osm. During the next week I will continue to close a few issues which are either already solved in pnorman's version or which are not ogr2osm issues. We'll see what's next, if everyone agrees to continue with my version I will:
The objective should be that @pnorman does not have to bother about open issues or pull requests anymore, and that people are instructed to clone the actively maintained fork. |
Unless there are objections I will link from here to my version in a few days and adapt the OSM wiki accordingly. I will continue to provide long term support on pnorman's version for those who still use python 2 or those who need more time to convert their translation files. This will be strictly limited to bugfixes. |
I'd suggest dropping Python 2 support. I don't think it is necessary to support 2 versions. |
Thanks for your input @Firefishy. |
@pnorman has put out a request seeking a new maintainer for ogr2osm
