I'm having some difficulties exactly understanding how the the whole update thing work in Ubuntu and good practice for installing software.
I understand I have a /etc/apt/sources.list
file where all my repositories are listed, and that these repositories are queried when I use apt-get update
- to later be used with e.g.
apt-get upgrade
. This makes perfect sense and I recently installed spotify
by adding
deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free
to this "sources" list.
But then I got confused...
When I went to download Google Chrome I merely had to download and grab a .deb
file, and Chrome installed with no problem... but I don't see any new entry in /etc/apt/sources.list
...
So how does apt-get update
know where to query concerning Chrome updates? Has it somehow been added to one of the already listed repositories in the sources file?
I would like all my installed software to be encompassed by the update function.
