Tossing in all the "*latest*" [if trunk is what you want] should pretty
much get you there.  The only caveat I'm aware of these days is to "rm
libfoundation10*" or you get a conflict error with libfoundation11.

I understand that, but I think you'll find the dependency situation with
OGo very easy to deal with (a welcome break from things like LDAP and
Kerberos servers.... Ugh!).

A simple "mget *latest*; rpm -Fvh *.rpm" has worked for me every single
time.   Security problems are pretty darn rare, so there is only a need
to update when you see something particularly interesting in the Change
Blogger.

I wouldn't recommend upgrading willy-nilly as you are tracking trunk
packages, so things can get broken - although this has also proved to be
extremely rare.  We've been using OGo since months after the initial
announcement (2003?) and have only had to roll back an upgrade once
(which is another reason having all the packages around is nice).

Yes, there are several corners of the web interface that are a bit out
of date;  it is usually better to head straight for the plone.

I've assembled some administrative information here -
