Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for some information about how to contribute.
There is a kind of road map for osm2pgsql development. It’s not to be understood as a definite “this is what we’ll do” document, but as a rough and incomplete overview of the shared understanding of the maintainers about where we are and in what areas we see need for work.
See also the generalization project.
We also have a list of project ideas with more long-term projects.
Tests and Continuous Integration
We have a growing suite of tests, new features and bug fixes should always have test coverage.
The master branch and all pull requests are checked automatically using
Github Actions (on Linux, macOS and Windows).
Compatibility
We strive to be out-of-the-box compatible with major Linux distributions to make use of osm2pgsql as easy as possible for many users. Usually at least the last long-term release of the major Linux distributions is supported. This handy list of dependencies helps with that.
We strive to support all versions of PostgreSQL and PostGIS that are
- available in the Linux distributions we support, and
- are supported upstream (i.e. from the PostgreSQL and PostGIS teams).
Distributions
Osm2pgsql is available in several distributions:
