For linux, I would like libreoffice.org to maintain a repository that I 
can direct my package manager to use.  On fedora, a simple

# yum update libreoffice

should update me to the latest version, even if fedora package 
maintainers have not yet incorporated it into their updates repos.  I 
see that go-oo.org seems to be set up this way (but I have not used it), 
and it looks like a good model to follow.

Additionally, to avoid having to download a huge full set of RPMs in 
this process, it would be really great if the repo was set up to handle 
delta RPMs.  This would be a big bandwidth saver on the server side, and 
helpful on the user side for those who are on slower connections.

Currently, I go to the site and manually download the huge .tar.gz of RPMs.

For linux, definitely no.  That's what a package manager is for.  I 
don't want each application to have it's own way of updating.

If there is a linux repo, that's all I'd use.
