[DebianGIS-dev] Update of Package osmosis

[Carsten Schönert]

Dear Maintainers,

today i tried to use the osmosis package on my debian squeeze 64bit to 
extract data from a larger file from geofabrik.de .

Well, the relativ old version 0.34 of osmosis in debian can't handle the 
pbf format of the inputfile. This happens because the pbf file support 
was build later into osmosis.
Here ist the output:

As on http://bretth.dev.openstreetmap.org/osmosis-build/ to see there is 
already a version osmosis-0.38 availible, is there any plan to update 
the osmosis version on Debian in the next time?

Regards and thanks
