Arch Linux User Repository

Ahh... so it's a server problem, with the defaults. Man page:

   "--baseurl=url"
       The base URL of the server to download the tiles from.

       Default: <http://tile.openstreetmap.org> (This is the base URL for the
       Mapnik tiles.)

So this server "tile.openstreetmap.org" is not valid anymore.

I also tested with, --baseurl='http://tile.opencyclemap.org/cycle' . It works

I think the "forbidden" error message comes from the server. I do not have problems downloading tiles using e.g. "downloadosmtiles.pl --link='http://www.opencyclemap.org/?lat=42.8&lon=0.1&zoom=10' --baseurl='http://tile.opencyclemap.org/cycle' --zoom=14". I will fix Issue 2.

Nice simple cli based tool. I love these simple OSM interfaces. Thanks for the work on the PKGBUILD.

It is very old, and "apparently" hasnt seen any updates in 14 years lol !!!

But it is perl, and it should be working, I guess.

I have 2 ISSUES.

ISSUE 1: not working today, error message "forbidden"

Archlinux has today updated Perl to 5.40. I removed and reinstalled "geo-osm-tiles" to make it rebuild with the latest Perl. The man page says,

SYNOPSIS

  downloadosmtiles.pl --lat=49.5611:49.6282 --lon=10.951:11.0574 --zoom=13:14
  downloadosmtiles.pl --link='http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-23.5872&lon=..........
  downloadosmtiles.pl --loadtilelist=filename

But then,

$ downloadosmtiles.pl --lat=49.5611:49.6282 --lon=10.951:11.0574 --zoom=13:14

Schedule 9 (3 x 3) tiles for zoom level 13 for download ...
Schedule 36 (6 x 6) tiles for zoom level 14 for download ...
Download 9 tiles for zoom level 13 ...
403 Forbidden at /usr/bin/site_perl/downloadosmtiles.pl line 227.

I have no idea. This is that line 227,

225     mkpath(dirname($fname));
226     my $res = $lwpua->get($url, ':content_file' => $fname);
227     die $res->status_line
228 >       unless $res->is_success;

Is it a problem with the code itself ? Some incompatibility with modern Perl ? Is it working on your system ?

ISSUE 2: the location of the script in "/usr/bin"

$ pacman -Ql geo-osm-tiles

geo-osm-tiles /usr/
geo-osm-tiles /usr/bin/
geo-osm-tiles /usr/bin/site_perl/
geo-osm-tiles /usr/bin/site_perl/downloadosmtiles.pl
.......
......
geo-osm-tiles /usr/lib/perl5/5.40/site_perl/auto/Geo/.... lotz of stuff
........
geo-osm-tiles /usr/share/man/man3/.... man pages
geo-osm-tiles /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/Geo/........ pm files

I am no AUR packaging or Perl expert. But I have used hundreds of perl tools from the AUR. And I've never seen any create a folder "/usr/bin/site_perl" and install things to

/usr/bin/site_perl/...xyz.pl... 

Shouldnt it be "/usr/bin/downloadosmtiles.pl" or even better "/usr/bin/downloadosmtiles" without the ".pl" according to the AUR/Arch guidelines ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Updated the dependencies accordingly.

There is a missing dependency: perl-yaml is needed to run downloadosmtiles.pl
