Comment(by hamish):

 Hi,

 some observations and updates:

 legacy_minimal.sql is now called for the osm psql dbs, which allows
 GpsDrive's maps to work again. That change has been applied in svn.

 Kosmo needs to have the full legacy.sql loaded into the natural_earth2
 psql db in order for it to display map features (table load still seems to
 work there). we thought is was a call to extent(), but that shows up in
 the /var/log/postgress/ error log even after applying PostGIS's
 legacy.sql, so would seem to be unrelated. I'd note that the visibility
 tick box is still hard to manipulate in Kosmo; see quickstart for a
 workaround. The legacy.sql has *not* been applied to natural_earth2 db in
 svn yet. The good news is that if it causes any problems (and I'm not sure
 if it would or not) you can apply it at run time, so worst case perhaps
 even as part of the Kosmo.desktop startup icon's Exec= command?

 many of the quickstarts were not updated for the new natural earth db name
 and shapefile name variationss (.please. don't change those
 unnecessarily...). I fixed all the English ones I could find, but the
 translations will need that too. Same with mapnik -> mapnik2 python
 library in the Mapnik quickstart.


 regards,
 Hamish
