Why not just use apt? It's already updated in the repository.
Apt does this automatically for you on uphrade
Until you apt-get update and they break :)
yes, but that’s not as simple as apt automatic upgrades
Apt isn't going anywhere. What changed for you on the server side?
The Ubuntu packages seem quite out of date.
Can't I get those things from `sudo apt-get upgrade`?
does that apply to installations from apt?
I second this, I'd just appreciate better integration with apt - I'm already using this method to update my linux machines anyways
at least until the `apt-get upgrade` or similar :)
