I have openoffice Openoffice 3.1.1 Build 3.1.1.4 installed in my computer.
I entered the OpenOffice page and found out that there is a 3.2 version.
When I try to download, the download brings me a tar.gz file.
Any other possible way to upgrade ?
thanks
agunet74
I already have tha repository in my list with 9th priority.
I think that maybe the 3,2 is not a stable version yet. That’s why isn’t in the repositorie.
Thanks for your advice, anyway.
regards
agunet
Browsing the repo, 3.2 appears to be available. What are you using to upgrade (YaST/zypper)?
I always forfot I hae the zypper option.
Generrally, I came here and always update with zypper. But I not understand that command very well yet. (Although there were sometimes I used without any help)
To see te packages I have if I do
sudo zypper up pa
Then, I don’t know which package of OpenOffice do I have to update.
If you already have the openoffice repo enabled, just open the YaST software manager and click on the repositories tab. If you don’t have that tab, click on the view tab and select repositories from the drop down menu.
Then select the openoffice repo and click the blue text at the top of the packages list ‘switch system packages’. It should show that all of the openoffice packages will be updated to the 3.2 version.
Try specifying the repository:
zypper up -t package OpenOffice_org -r ooo-alias
where “ooo-alias” is the alias for the OpenOffice.org stable repo in your RPM database.
Then select the openoffice repo and click the blue text at the top of the packages list ‘switch system packages’. It should show that all of the openoffice packages will be updated to the 3.2 version.
I have no Blue text af the opt of package list or I don’t see it. --------------------------------------------------------------
Try specifying the repository:
zypper up -t package OpenOffice_org -r ooo-alias
the answer was:
nothing to do
And I’m not sure i I really have an “ooo” version. like -r “3.2”
How can I knwo that ?
Please post the results of
zypper lr -d
Here you are:

I’m not sure why you don’t see the blue link in YaST.
You can try this:
zypper dup -r 2 openoffice
agunet@agunet:~> sudo zypper dup -r 2 openoffice
root’s password:
Too many arguments.
Usage:
dist-upgrade (dup) [options]
Perform a distribution upgrade.
Command options:
-r, --repo <alias|#|URI> Load only the specified repository.
-l, --auto-agree-with-licenses
Automatically say ‘yes’ to third party license
confirmation prompt.
See man zypper for more details.
–debug-solver Create solver test case for debugging
–no-recommends Do not install recommended packages, only required.
–recommends Install also recommended packages in addition
to the required.
-D, --dry-run Test the upgrade, do not actually upgrade
-d, --download-only Only download the packages, do not install.
–from <alias|#|URI> Restrict upgrade to specified repository.
Try this:
zypper dup -r OppenOffice_Stable
That’s not a typo. If you look at your repo list, that’s how you have spelled “OpenOffice.”
BTW you have far too many active repos. This is bound to lead to trouble. Turn the ones off you are not actively using. YOu have KDE4, KDE4 Factory and the base repos all of which supply different versions of the same packages. Mixing versions will lead to problems.
This worked for me. Well, the steps for oS 11.1 were:
follow above link
copy entire url
open Yast, select “Software Repositories”
Click on Add (the “Specify URL” should be selected); click on Next
paste URL into lower box
Click on Next
You’ll have to enable the repository when you see it listed without checkmarks.
Next time you search for openoffice, you’ll see ver 3.2 listed instead of 3.0; select it to install normally.

The update of OpenOffice.org in openSUSE 11.2 doesn’t work the same way as in openSUSE 11.1. Even if the repository with OpenOffice.org 3.2 is enabled, YaST2 doesn’t show OpenOffice.org 3.2 as an available package.
A workaround is to delete the already installed old OpenOffice_org packages in YaST2. Then the new OpenOffice_org packages become visible in YaST2. They can be selected and installed as any other packages.
I’m not sure whether this is a bug or a feature of the new YaST2. I guess it is a bug but I’m not going to report it. Moreover, I tested the qt version of YaST2 only.
I did enable OpenOffice 3.2 repo and I was able to see the 3.2 pakckages along with the old one via Yast.
I deleted OOO 3.0 (using Yast) before adding the 3.2 repo, so the OO ver. 3.2 was visible right away in Yast.
