I first run into problem when I wanted to easily replace old
OpenOffice 2.x packages with OOO 3.1.1 buy adding Obsoletes: ~. into

packages.

 I assume you have obsoletes processing turn on, on the clients? What
do you specfiles look like for the Obsoletes?
I will have to check on this, I tried this approach and then deleted it from spec file when it was not working.


Now OOO has changed packages from
   ooobasis3.1-base-3.1.1-9420.x86_64.rpm
to
   ooobasis3.2-base-3.2.0-9483.x86_64.rpm
(note the change in package name from 3.1 to 3.2, so there is no clear
update path.

 Surely oobasis3.2 would obsolete oobasis3.1 ... no?

No as far as I tried. Its "ooobasis3.1-base" version 3.1.1 vs. "ooobasis3.2-base" version 3.2 so yum update will not pick it directlly, only via my fake package since I only changed minor version number.
