Ubuntu's site states:
quote: "If you're using Ubuntu, don't install LibreOffice manually from
the ".deb" files available at LibreOffice.org
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice.org>. Otherwise you will not get
automatic updates & upgrades when new versions come out and you will be
missing the integration to Ubuntu. Using official packages also ensures
you get the best assistance from the community as this is the
recommended method to install & use LibreOffice in Ubuntu"
They want you to use the PPA link or their repository for the latest
updates.
Actually, I found that the OOo web site updated quicker and more often
than Ubuntu's repository for their version of OOo. I do not think they
will be any faster with LibreOffice updates.
Yes, it will be much easier to keep up-to-date when LibreOffice is in
its repository and then find that there is an update shown in the daily,
weekly, etc., update schedule that you set in your update manager. But
there will be a time lag between LibreOffice's updates on their web site
and Ubuntu's repository. So, the "no not install manually" statement
may be taken the wrong way be some users as if there is something wrong
with LibreOffice's own downloads.
