Thanks Jake for the details.
Well, what you say about building it yourself is what I'm actually trying to
do now, but it is not a piece of cake:
http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/libreoffice-testing/el6/i386/
http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/libreoffice-testing/el6/x86_64/
But at least it's done Fedora/Redhat way :-)
I will seriously look into making a proper repo out of the Libreoffice.org
rpms.. I'll let you know how it goes.
