Jarmo,
You could try a different repository... epel or one of the fedora's may work for you.
I personally am not a fan of epel though.
You may be better of to simply get the source rpm's of the packages you want and build them yourself on your machine.

Just wondering, what's the roadmap for OO to be upgraded. I have version 2.0.4 and official is already in 2.3.x and suppose in march there's going to be 2.4 version.
As well as Gimp, we using 2.2 and there is 2.4.x
Anyone heard upstream roadmap for upgrading?
Jarmo
Generally speaking, I believe there will be upgrades to those apps when upstream upgrades those apps. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. If you really really want the updated versions, you can yum remove openoffice and install the rpms from OpenOffice.Org with minimal hassle if any at all. I did not have problems with the packages from OO.O; YMMV of course.
I am not sure for GIMP; however, sorry. I don't use it very often.
HTH
