Easiest way to update non-distro-repository installations on linux? [closed]
What is the easiest way to update an existing LibreOffice installation that's NOT from the distro's repositories? For example, I used the .deb archives for my custom/minimal Ubuntu installation to install the 64-bit LibreOffice manually and now want to update it. The preferred or recommended way seems to uninstall all previous packages, download the new .deb archives and install them. Quite bothersome, to be honest.
Would a PPA work for your needs?
@Merc - Looks like you thought that a PPA would work (per an Answer you gave), but it now appears that your Answer has since been removed. Did you run into problems trying to use a PPA?
