Hello all,
I'm having trouble understanding how apt/yum work. Suppose I'm running the latest ubuntu-release of Chromium or some other app. Then I decide I want the very very latest version - the releases on the project page, which are much newer than what ubuntu is distributing. So then suppose I go to the project page and install their latest version.
Would that mean I have to manually upgrade from then on? ... or would apt/yum notice that eventually the ubuntu version has become newer than the one I installed, and upgrade it for me?
Not sure how to make that situation happen, or if it already is happening.
