$ rpmlint SPECS/openstreetmap.spec 
0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.
$ rpmlint openstreetmap-0-0.3.svn20090628.fc11.src.rpm 
openstreetmap.src: W: name-repeated-in-summary OpenStreetMap
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.
$ rpmlint openstreetmap-0-0.3.svn20090628.fc11.noarch.rpm
openstreetmap.noarch: W: name-repeated-in-summary OpenStreetMap
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.

Not sure the warning is important or not, and I can't find a better summary for
the package :-/

Yes, that is only one JS file in a package. This might be overkill, but I need
this API for an application I'm developping, and I wanted to provide an easy
way to use it for my users. I have the following possibilities:
1. bundle it in my app
2. use the upstream hosted version at
http://openstreetmap.org/openlayers/OpenStreetMap.js
3. package it as RPM for Fedora

Possibility 1 is just plain ugly.

Possibility 2 causes problems, as upstream might make a new release and break
API compatibility.

This leaves possibility 3, which has 2 added benefits:
- the API can be shared by several web applications on a same system
- updates can be made in relation with the openlayers API, as it is also
packaged in Fedora (and the two generally move together)
