Good day,

I suppose that the version OOo that this included in Opensuse is different
to which provides www.opensuse.org.

Wich it´s the procedure to update OOo 3.1 to OOo3.2 manually in Opensuse?

Thanks for your time,

Regards,

i think the first question you should ask yourself is: what feature in
3.2 do you need enough to take the chance of the newer software
containing a not yet discovered bug which you really don’t want?

and, what do you mean by update manually? that is, do you wish to
download source for 3.2 and then compile and install it?

if so then all you have to do is use YaST to install the basic
development pattern, and then read the README (or something similar)
inside the source download…it will (probably, but they are NOT all
the same) tell you to

…/configure
make
su
make install

you might wanna use the forums advanced search (or google) to find
more info (if you need it) on how to compile and install software on
Linux…
