I have not tried to integrate the newest OOo2 into CentOS-5 (or even CentOS-4.5) since both have OOo-2.0.4 integrated. Are there REALLY that many new features that you MUST upgrade from a Stable 2.0.4 to a new 2.2.x?
Not today, but next year OOo 2.0 will be outdated and if asking for a support most people will ask to get the latest version. My reasons is because the recent OO provides better compatibility with the latest MS Office, since it is a critical to our company which exchange the document in MS office format with the customer.
Well ... you would have to rebuild a newer version other than the one on FC6 ... which MIGHT still work on CentOS-5. However, in the future as tomcat, glibc and other build requires diverge between FC6 and CentOS-5 it will be less likely to work.
In a 8 months when there is no more FC6 support, that will stop working anyway.
This is what i'm worry about...
=== OR === create a process to use the OOo RPMS directly from the OpenOffice.org website.
I also thinking this is the best possible solution. Get the OO package from openoffice.org site and then add desktop integration ourself. But, will it mess up the whole thing when we i do 'yum upgrade'?
