AFAIK broken help browser was fixed in 638C, templates work for me in 641.

But it is definitely better than build 605 (or does someone say it is 
better to have 605 than 641?)

So where's the spec file ;-)

The 605 rpm in contrib has a broken way of doing things. After 
installing the RPM, OO.o should be installed ... thus the setup should 
be run during rpm build, but to make it non-interactive would require 
using the response-file method from 5.2 (if it still works). Also, 
including the non-LGPL wordlists for spell-checking for all OO.o 
supported languages would be cool.

Also, build process is not trivial ...
