DEPRECATION NOTICE

This repository is no longer in use. Please see Mapzen Metro Extracts

metroextractor-cities

This data is used to build the extracts found here: Mapzen Metro Extracts.

Extracts are built weekly. If you submit a pull for a new extract, it will not be available until the weekly build has completed. This typically takes place over the weekend.

Description

• cities.json defines bounding boxes for various metro areas, which are used by chef-metroextractor to produce weekly extracts.

Contributing

You need to perform the following tasks for us to accept a pull request:

• update cities.json with your changes
  • do not modify cities.geojson; it will be generated automatically when your pull request is merged.
• run the included tests, which will validate:
• the syntax of the json
• that the bounding boxes being sumbitted are valid
• that the bounding boxes for cities all fall within their encompassing upper level bounding box (e.g. north_america)
• that there's nothing other than a float provided for the bounding box coordinates
• the top/left/bottom/right bbox parameters should be carried out to the thousandths (three digits to the right of the decimal)

If you're unable to run the test suite locally, you can submit a pull request, but if the specs fail there will be a delay in getting your request resolved.

If in doubt, just submit an issue with your request rather than a pull request.

Running Tests

You will need to have a Ruby 2.x environment, then simply:

bundle install
bundle exec rake

Passing tests will look similar to the following:
