Python-elementary is missing ;(
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-January/039475.html

Something wrong in the install command:
opkg install http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-testing/ipk/armv4t/ http://www.opkg.org/packages/osmupdater_0.3_any.ipk

- what's the SHR address doing there..?

Hi!

What's the license of the program?

Hi
Thanks for this usefull tool. could you please add a config file where we can change the path to the Maps folder ?

root@om-gta02:~# osmupdater.sh
searching files for update
found: 38293 files to chk
rm: cannot remove \'/tmp/osm.png\': No such file or directory
cat: can\'t open \'/tmp/OSMupdate_state\': No such file or directory
sh: OSMupdate: unknown operand
no command to run

How to solve this?

Collected errors:
* Failed to download http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-testing/ipk/armv4t/python-elementary_0.1.0+svnr325-r0.1_armv4t.ipk, error 404

Is anything working on this site?

See http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-March/043555.html -the package format is broken..

The package seems to be broken, could you please re-upload it ?

opkg install http://www.opkg.org/packages/osmupdater_0.4_any.ipk
Downloading http://www.opkg.org/packages/osmupdater_0.4_any.ipk
Collected errors:
* Cannot find package http://www.opkg.org/packages/osmupdater_0.4_any.ipk.

try this:

opkg install http://www.opkg.org/packages/osmupdater_0.3_any.ipk

When will this be fixed?

If having trouble with python-elementary try using this instead:
opkg install http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-testing/ipk/armv4t/python-elementary_0.1+svnr40284-ml0_armv4t.ipk

Fradeve, if you're still having the problem (or if anyone else is), change the contents of the file /tmp/OSMupdate_state to "OSMupdate"

echo "OSMupdate" > /tmp/OSMupdate_state

be warned, if you do this via gprs, it will take quite a while, because it compares each file, one by one, which means that even if it doesn't update the file, it's transferring all of the data, so the fact that it only updates the different tiles is a bit misleading.

Seems like getting a directory listing from the server and then doing all of the comparisons off-line would be more efficient. An MD5 sum seems a bit overkill... the file date should be enough.

I suggest replacing "expr" (external program) with "let" (shell builtin)

let "count += 1"
let "fileTest += 1"

The improvement in time taken is huge
