Is it always going to be the newest version? Because I know lots of software doesn't get updated very frequently in the software center.
Another question I have. I don't FULLY understand how these packages work. Say I install something off of the Ubuntu Software Center, is it as safe as installing the software from source? What's the difference? I know that somebody has to package it in the Ubuntu repositories, but it's not like you're downloading a pre-compiled binary, right?
I'm just curious how much less safe it will be to install from the software center as opposed to installing from source.
Edit: Also, what gives?
