There is allready opendap-3.4.4 in fedora cvs (with the servers ?). The servers
are not released for 3.5.2. As libdap in opendap-3.4.4 and libdap in 3.5.2 are
incompatible as stated on the opendap site (although I don't know how...), maybe
it would be nice to have both. I have tested that opendap-3.4.4 and libdap-3.5.2
and the devel packages can coexist, as the names of libraries and utilities
changed between the releases. 

libnc-dap-3.5.2 and opendap-3.4.4 conflict, however. I think that this is not a
problem as they are compatible (as much as the netcdf interfaces are
compatible). So maybe a good thing would be to split opendap-3.4.4 in
opendap-libdap and opendap-nc-dap (or opendap-ncdods as it is called like that
in this release if I'm not wrong) such that the libdap pars can be installed
along while the libnc-dap conflict.
 
Myabe it would also be a good idea for the various subpackages of opendap to
provide the new names, say libnc-dap-devel (with version 3.4.4). And if you
think it is a good idea libdap-3.5.2 and libncdap-3.5.2 could provide the old
names too.

rpmlint complains about the licence for libdap, however there is really a file
under the W3C licence so I think it is right.

W: libdap-devel invalid-license LGPL/W3C
