  Description     : OpebStreetMap tile server


osm-tile-server is a native Debian package that aims to help people setting up
a tile server for OpenStreetMap in Debian. It takes advantage of packages
already in Debian and adds the necessary "glue" to make a tile server work sort
of "out-of-the-box".

The intention is to support different rendering engines such as tilelite and
mod_tile, but since mod_tile is not yet in Debian, only support for tilelite is
there yet. This functionality is given by the package
'osm-tile-server-tilelite'. The binary package 'osm-tile-server' is a
metapackage that pulls in "osm-tile-server-tilelite |
osm-tile-server-mod-tile", but where osm-tile-server-mod-tile doesn't exist
yet.

The binary package 'osm-tile-server-base' provides the scripts necessary to
setup a postgis database, download OSM data and import it. Everything can be
accomplished with debconf selections.

With this package, it is possible to have a fully functional OpenStreetMap tile
server using only one command:

  sudo apt install osm-tile-server
 or:
  sudo apt install osm-tile-server-tilelite

I plan to maintain it as part of the Debian GIS team.
