Oh right, I believe those aren't etched in stone indeed.  In principle
we could also provide automatic compatibily links such as
/master/Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64/current/ , but I'd need to check with QA
whether there could be @$FOOBAR collisions in the future.

I see, the update check won't work so soon after the release indeed: in
order to have some peace of mind should any regression occurs rel'eng
wants to wait a few days before updating the update check.  So
unfortunately for that use-case there is currently no other solution
than parsing our directory listings; either the HTML, or rsync

    $ rsync rsync://rsync.documentfoundation.org/tdf-pub/libreoffice/stable/ | sed -nr 
's/.*\s([0-9]\S*)$/\1/p' | sort -V | tail -n1
    7.3.1
