Hi. Thanks for the reply. I understand the service itself can not be
rebuilt, and I also realize this is probably something hard-coded in the
program. Since I don't know how it's referenced internally, I was just
wondering if a "dummy" service could be setup that might just DO something,
if only to alert the user that it is no longer in service.
Of course it could be tried. But it's not easy and finished "overnight".
And even when a rebuild would be successful, the result is just a
message like "No updates available". Not worth the effort.
Additionally ...
This would entail the infrastructure folks on some level and setting up a
"VM". SO, maybe too much overhead to deal with right now, I guess.
... OOo 3.3.0 was published in January, so since 10 months it's the same
result as the server/service wasn't really reachable good.
IMHO no need to do *now* anything. ;-)

Any suggestions about what we can do about this????
When the server is now really gone because it was in the *.ss.oo.o domain,
then it's done. We cannot disable the function in the program. And IMHO
there is nobody available here who knows the details how this communication
is working and has time to rebuild it, incl. a new server or service.
For the next release (3.4) we should disable the function as it cannot be
reanimated until then. For anything later we should try to implement a real
update functionality; that means with little update chunks + download +
installation.
