okay, thx for the info. i guess thats about what i expected, though i think it is kind of a shame. i mean, osmosis is definitely a cool tool, but for this specialized task, i am sure planetdiff would have been a lot faster. nice that is was such a simple pure c codebase. currently i dont have Java (or very much memory) on my target machine which is why i was asking.
the .osc format actually looks nearly the same as that used by planet diff except that it adds a modify cmd whereas planetdiff represented modifications as a combination of remove, and then add. i don’t suppose the original author of planetdiff (or anyone else) would like to update it to use .osc, lol? okay, maybe i can try to do it myself… and for time being i will fetch full planet files but at low frequency (once a month), if that seems okay?
thx
