I am interested in updating at least 2 items of software that have not
been updated significantly by the ftp.skynet.be update source since I
installed.

Software I would like to update is Thunderbird, Firefox, and OOo. I
currently have version 2.0.4 of OOo and version 1.5.0.10 of Thunderbird.
My Firefox version is sitting at 2.0.0.2. The reason I would like to
update is to take advantage of additional features ie Base in OOo as
well as the additional security and functionality of the updated Firefox
and TB versions.,

To maintain my rpm db and ease of use of the software management tools
of Yast, I thought that I might just need to add additional update
source path/s. When the opensuseupdater checks for updates, it will
identify that there are new files available and let me download and
install them via Yast.

Are there update sources specifically for the software I want to update
ie in RPM format or is there a more general all inclusive OpenSUSE RPM
update source?

Or should I just bite te bullet and learn to install tar.gz files and
resolve their dependancies.

I really would prefer just adding update sources and using
opensuseupdater/Yast though.

TIA
Hylton
