I speak of LibreOffice.
The version which is available from the openSUSE repositories is 4.1.6.
The latest stable version available from libreoffice.org is version 4.2.4.2. You can get the latest build of LibreOffice (v 4.2.4.2) from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/Factory/openSUSE_13.1... (assuming openSUSE 13.1)
Having 4.1.6 in the main 13.1 repo is no surprise really. It's the LibreOffice release that was stable/current at 13.1 release.
I don't know who is causing this problem but to me it is clear that openSUSE is *WAY* behind what is available from LibreOffice.org. Nope.. you're just pulling from the "wrong" repo. :-)
When you run YaST2 you are able to view the Repositories available and add new repositories. Under the Community Repositories there is the LibreOffice respository - and this repository gets you: download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/stable/openSUSE_13.1/ . Now, where the heck does Factory get into the picture?! LibreOffice is automatically installed when one installs openSUSE (say 13.1). OK, with this I expect to only get the version and any bug fixes for the version which is installed with 13.1 via the usual (?)update repo(s) for 13.1. But when I see a Community Repository titled LibreOffice I expect that to have the latest version of LibreOffice - and I *don't* expect to learn that the bloody latest version is sitting in some other damn repository!
