How does Ubuntu know when to upgrade a package in the repo?

Asked by Benjamin

Hey I'm just wondering how does Ubuntu know when to add or upgrade packages in their repo? Is there more that the statistical collection under software sources?

Ubuntu's repo is run by canonical and the community runs one or two as well. Software sources on ubuntu idoesnt show any statistical information. It is used to enable or disable repos and select which server you will download from.

Hope that helps

Is there a way to ask the community to upgrade to newer versions of programs which are out of date in the current repo's?
