Of course it could be tried. But it's not easy and finished "overnight".
And even when a rebuild would be successful, the result is just a
message like "No updates available". Not worth the effort.

... OOo 3.3.0 was published in January, so since 10 months it's the same
result as the server/service wasn't really reachable good.
IMHO no need to do *now* anything. ;-)

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I understand the service itself can not be
rebuilt, and I also realize this is probably something hard-coded in the
program. Since I don't know how it's referenced internally, I was just
wondering if a "dummy" service could be setup that might just DO something,
if only to alert the user that it is no longer in service.
This would entail the infrastructure folks on some level and setting up a
"VM". SO, maybe too much overhead to deal with right now, I guess.

When the server is now really gone because it was in the *.ss.oo.o
domain, then it's done. We cannot disable the function in the program.
And IMHO there is nobody available here who knows the details how this
communication is working and has time to rebuild it, incl. a new server
or service.
For the next release (3.4) we should disable the function as it cannot
be reanimated until then. For anything later we should try to implement
a real update functionality; that means with little update chunks +
download + installation.
