Upgrading via YUM

[chrism01]

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade OpenOffice from 1.0 to 1.1 (on RH9) using yum. Here is my yum.conf :

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1

[base]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/


[updates]
name=Red Hat Linux $releasever - Updates
baseurl=http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/updates/$releasever/

[freshrpms]
name=Red Hat Linux 9 - Freshrpms
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/redhat/9/i386/freshrpms

Originally I just had the duke repositories, but
yum update openoffice
said:
openoffice is installed and the latest version.
so I added the freshrpms repository and tried again. Unfortunately I got exactly the same result (after a load of hdr updates).
I obviously don't understand yum... :)
I did try reading the man pages, but no light was shed.
Any help appreciated.

Simple answer is that they do not have 1.1, the only openoffice I could find in those mirrors is openoffice-1.0.2-11

rpmfind.net doesn't even list any 1.1 RPMs available,

You can get OOo.org-1.1.2 in tar.gz from http://openoffice.org but as for an RPM...search around google and you may find one.

But since none of the main mirrors have it, I'd use the tar.gz if you need 1.1

Why not just migrate to FC?

BTW, you can use the original OO.o binary installer for normal uses -- It should work with minimal glitches.

Thx for the answers.
I want to use yum so I don't get hung up with dependency issues.
I can't upgrade to FC as this is a work machine.
I thought OO 1.1.x had been out for a while... anybody know how long it normally takes for repositories to catch up?
