Hi
on the German list the need came up to link openlayers & co. from the toolserver directly instead of openlayers.org.
I've put up recent versions of some libs i found useful at http://toolserver.org/~osm/libs/
If a lib is missing or an update is required, please mail this list.

Fine, but we need way to transfer this scripts over the network as gzip. So your OpenLayer.js is 856 kB big and needs 1.38s for transfer. I use php for compression, so it looks for the client like normal JavaScript. My OpenLayers-original2-9.js.php that I use in OSM-Gadget need 193 kB (the same like that from openlayers.org) and needs 0.53 sec for transfer.
For the Openlayers application in Geohack of the german WP I removed all unnecessary features (with the help Openlayerer.org + Try&Error) so I come to 82 kB with compression.
PHP is the only way I know to start the gzhandler, there are surely better ways for admins in server-preferences. It's seem not usefull to compress a file everytime new.
The Jquery-skript have also in the latest directory the actual version-number in the filename (jquery-1.4.2.js http://toolserver.org/%7Eosm/libs/jquery/latest/jquery-1.4.2.js) thats perhaps also not optimal.
What I miss is the OpenStreetMap.js from Openstreetmap.org or is this not wanted?
I think a central point for this scripts is the best way, because I don't need to update it for my own and we should surely go away from highloaded OpenLayers-Servers, but we should optimize it a little bit more.

Yes, that's true. I've looked around for Zeus Webserver configuration but I didn't manage it to compress the files while respecting the accept header. I'd like to ask toolserver-l first if anyone knows a smarter way.

If you want me to host that smaller version on the osm-account, please send a link to fetch it from.

We could cache it there and check filemtime every now and then. It could maybe even be hidden using Zeus' rewrite support, but I'm sure there are better options to get the Zeus Webserver to compress files.
The Jquery-skript have also in the latest directory the actual version-number in the filename. perhaps also not optimal.
Fixed that.

I just missed it: http://toolserver.org/~osm/libs/openstreetmap/latest/

Please don't expect to find always the latest version there. I might update them every now and then and of course I will if someone asks for.
