Thread: Installing from source vs installing from the USC


when should 1 rely on ubuntu software center , when should 1 install tarballs (e.g., source)? 1 can find more up-to-date versions available in usc. opinions?

basically, boils down to: really need "up-to-date" version? remember fixes critical bugs (including not limited security-related ones) are applied version in ubuntu repositories, if version number not reflect it. reason why want install source when need feature present in newer version (and can't find third-party repository has it).
