I want to upgrade to the new LibreOffice 5.0, but I’m currently using the LibreOffice that was installed by default with openSUSE 13.2 (64bit). Since this is a stable version of openSUSE, it will never upgrade to 5.0. Is there a “proper” way to upgrade? Which repos do i use?
When can we expect to get LibreOffice 5.0 in a repository alongside 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4?

The version in Factory now is RC5, not yet the final release. I would
imagine that there will be a new repository created on the lines
of /repositories/LibreOffice:/5.0 for the new release; previous similar
ones exist for 4.4, 4.3, etc.

On second thoughts, having just checked the download version numbers
from the LibreOffice site, what looks like RC5 in factory may be the
final version.

No idea.
Maybe when 5.1.0 is released? There’s no need to have it before that… 
It is 5.0.0.5, the same version you get when you click on the 5.0.0 download link at the LibreOffice homepage.
A newer version does not exist yet.
fwiw
Version: 5.0.0.5 Build ID: 437e4abdf9e72fd0a6e6f8697a0e659bc77f9b10 was installed from http://www.libreoffice.org/download
its only been used since <2015Aug05-16:14> but it has not blinked, writer, calc and draw ok,
with
Kernel: 4.1.4-7.gce190a8-desktop x86_64 (64 bit)
Desktop: KDE Plasma 5 Distro: openSUSE 20150802 (Tumbleweed)
Machine: Mobo: ASRock model: A780GM-LE
Bios: American Megatrends v: P1.10 date: 02/13/2009
CPU: Quad core AMD Phenom II X4 940 (-MCP-) cache: 2048 KB
clock speeds: max: 3000 MHz 1: 800 MHz 2: 1800 MHz 3: 3000 MHz 4: 1800 MHz
so far its only been tested on this PC, after the install Version: 4.4.4.3-3 was left installed,
but after initial trial the earlier version was deleted
cheers
As you are using Tumbleweed, you’ll get LibreOffice 5.0 via the standard repo anyway in a few days.
It has been submitted already, and currently is in review/testing.
Thank you, so do I add that repo and then do a “switch all to…” to use that repo for LibreOffice? or just add the repo and choose to upgrade some other way?
Yes.
It should also work to manually upgrade some package (libreoffice e.g.), the rest should be switched automatically then because of the dependencies.
But the former is safer.

Just done that and found that this version of LibreOffice 5.0 seems to
have a bug carried over from LO-4 that is not in the one I downloaded
from the LibreOffice site.
In Calc, the graphs occasionally have some data plots as lines along
the y=0 axis as though the data values were all zero. The tabulated
data has the correct values displayed. The way I can correct the graph
is to force Calc to re-calculate the data. This is happening when the
formula refers to data from another Calc file though I’m not yet sure
whether this is exclusively the case.
I’ll look into this further and raise a bug report.

OK, I’ll raise a bug report whenever Bugzilla lets me:
Bad Gateway!
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /post_bug.cgi.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
Phooey!
Don’t you just love it when this happens?
