well...a tiny little breakthrough on the update service...

I did the following today--

* reassigned the old update service ( update36.services.openoffice.org) to the current web server IP via my /etc/host file

* created a ProductUpdateService directory on www.openoffice.org and dumped Ariel's atom feed file into the directory with the name check.Update

Now, on my exisiting OOo3.3, when I click "Check for updates", it *gets* somewhere but of course, my system is expecting an ".rpm" package and not a tar ball as spec'd in the DL url, so nothing happens. Really I didn't try to find something reasonable, I just wanted to see if the ideas I had about re-routing the connection would work.

Bottom line. I think we should have infra also make this DNS change. At least folks with current "auto upgrades" will not continue to suffer from NO conenctions AND we now have an place to test/implement the feed, assuming we can get it in the right format for what we will be releasing with 3.4.

Thoughts?

ps. I will copy all this to the previous thread/post on the update service as well.
