NEW: geo/pmtiles

ok to import this? $ pkg_info pmtiles Information for inst:pmtiles-1.31.1 Comment: CLI to work with Protomaps PMTiles archives Description: PMTiles is a single-file archive format for tiled data. A PMTiles archive can be self-hosted, or hosted on a commodity storage platform such as S3, and enables low-cost, zero-maintenance map applications that are free of a custom tile backend or third party provider. This package provides the pmtiles CLI command, which works with local tilesets on disk, or remotely (e.g. with archives on cloud storage, even in private buckets). File operations include displaying basic information, extracting an archive containing just your chosen zoom levels and/or area from a larger file (e.g. those at https://maps.protomaps.com/builds/), merging disjoint files together, uploading to cloud storage, etc. Some applications (like MapLibre GL JS) are able to use pmtiles files directly (fetching sections via HTTP Range requests); some others want a server providing an industry-standard "ZXY" API to fetch rendered tiles: pmtiles can provide this over HTTP.
