Daemon that renders map tiles using mapnik

 mod_tile is a system to serve raster tiles for example to use within a
 slippy map. It provides a dynamic combination of efficient caching and
 on the fly rendering. Due to its dynamic rendering, only a small
 fraction of overall tiles need to be kept on disk, reducing the
 resources required. At the same time, its caching strategy allows for a
 high performance serving and can support several thousand requests per
 second.

 This package contains the renderd daemon that creates "metatiles" for
 map tile requests issued by mod_tile using the mapnik library.
