Arch Linux User Repository

Thanks for maintaining this PKGBUILD. I was looking for some simple tools to work with OSM on the command line in Archlinux for simple analyses. Tools that dont force me to install Java or other big heavy weights with gigabytes of downloads and hours of compile time.

Just to clarify things to me and others that might be confused

According to, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmfilter, last edited on 20 September 2021, at 02:59.

source code (newest version) http://m.m.i24.cc/osmfilter.c
(previous source code) http://m.m.i24.cc/osmfilter_old.c
gitlab repository, https://gitlab.com/osm-c-tools/osmctools

Some notes:

• that gitlab repo was last updated 4 years ago
• altthough this PKGBUILD has that gitlab as "Upstream URL:"
• this PKGBUILD pulls frome http://m.m.i24.cc/osmfilter.c
• this PKGBUILD is part of a "package base" called "osmtools"

That http://m.m.i24.cc/osmfilter.c states the last update as "osmfilter 2020-03-31 14:50". I cant access the authors' own website "http://m.m.i24.cc". It's only available as "http" not "https". Strange. Would be nice to know if this tool is still being actively maintained

I also got confused at first with the similar names "osmtools" and "osmctools"

Although,

name"Conflicts:     osmctools "

There is no "osmctools" PKGBUILD anymore in the aur.

Please add

conflicts=('osmctools'):

osmconvert: /usr/bin/osmconvert exists in filesystem (owned by osmctools)
osmfilter: /usr/bin/osmfilter exists in filesystem (owned by osmctools)
osmupdate: /usr/bin/osmupdate exists in filesystem (owned by osmctools)

Thanks vor maintaining!
