Yes, OpenOffice is considered an "unbundled" product, so it can be released to the /dev and /release repositories independently from an OS build. Notice the release part of the version number is "0.111", not "0.125":
pkg:/openoffice at 3.1.0,5.11-0.111 But the second part of the question is a good one. One way to find out is that the Update Manager will let you know that a newer version is available. Another way is through RSS feed. I don't know if there are plans of actually announcing a new version to particular aliases. -- Alan > >> In the future, you'll be able to use a "user image" to install it >> anywhere you like. > > Cool! > > Cheers -- Frank
