As the command output suggests, yes. Or at least that's what I propose,
assuming releng accept to maintain that map.

Depends what “this” refers to. There is no dictionary mapping
‘fresh’/‘still’ to download urls, let alone a 3XY redirect. But if you
provide your build and a more recent version is available for that
flavor, you get some information about that update, incl. its build ID
and version number

Fake doesn't mean you can chose whatever you want :-P But fair enough
the minutes don't mention the right User-Agent header value. You need
to perform the queries made by your LibreOffice program, for instance
GET /check.php HTTP/2
Host: update.libreoffice.org
User-Agent: LibreOffice 6.0.7.3 (dc89aa7a9eabfd848af146d5086077aeed2ae4a5;
Windows; x86; )
Then select with XPATH ‘/inst:description/inst:version’ to retrieve the
version number to update to. Or with a one-liner:
curl -sSA "LibreOffice 6.0.7.3 (dc89aa7a9eabfd848af146d5086077aeed2ae4a5;
Windows; x86; )" \
https://update.libreoffice.org/check.php | xmlstarlet sel -T -t -v
'/inst:description/inst:version'
(though you'll want to ensure that the output has a valid XML
description). There is also an update URL (XPATH
‘/inst:description/inst:update/@src’)
but I suppose that's not what you want, because that (intentionally) links to
https://www.libreoffice.org/download not
https://download.documentfoundation.org .
