this is the idea. 

If you want to install upstream OOo-Sun/Oracle, you can NOT install downstream 
OOo-Fedora; and of course, you can NOT update upstream OOo via yum, you will 
have to download OOo from www.openoffice.org and install/update it manually.

You must choose which one to install, you can not have both installed, even if 
upstream installs in /opt (this is due to the URE version issue, yum will try 
to update it with the URE in Fedora's repo; beside, you cannot have desktop 
integration for both upstream and downstream versions).

So you have to choose which one to use: Fedora's build or upstream OOo 
(though you can "install" upstream OOo "in parallel", as explained here: 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel 
but this way you don't have desktop integration for the upstream version)
