Hi, Thanks Trent. More learning curve. Doesn't it ever stop? :-) Carl On 12/06/15 11:40, Trent W. Buck wrote:

I'm pretty sure the only thing I use from Daniel Richter is grub-customizer. And that program appears as installed in both Software Manager and Synaptic.
Just wondering, if anyone knows, whether any updates for my grub-customizer will continue to be detected and installed in the future? Or is it now "orphaned"... in an updating sense of the word?
You want to look at "apt-cache policy". The numbers are explained in apt-preferences(5) manpage. (I don't understand it properly myself.) If you're quacking for details, try keyword "pinning".
This only applies if someone actually packages new versions & uploads them to the apt repos you're using.
Whether that will happen in a PPA is up to the PPA owner.
Whether that will happen in an official Ubuntu repo depends on the presence of e.g. "Supported: 6mo" field in "apt-cache show foo" (for security updates) and <I don't know> for -backports &c repos.
