It is unlikely that oo.o 3.2 will be packaged for Fedora 12 since it may
be seen as too major a jump to make within a release. The are however 3.2
RPMs for the Fedora 13 development version which should appear in an alpha
version within the next couple of weeks, so you could try packages from
that, or just upgrade your whole OS to it. Note that mixing RPMs from
different Fedora versions can cause problems so I would recommend a fair
amount of expertise in resolving package conflicts (and in the worst case
scenario recovering a non-functional or partially functional system
and/or good backups).
How about the most current version of OpenOffice that is properly
supported by Fedora 12? :-)
Thanks,
Ken
