I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I decided to install the tor browser bundle today. After some quick research online i discovered this article specifically discouraging users from using the Ubuntu packages as they aren't updated. The repo they operate for tor doesn't include the tor browser. So i had to download it manually. I am able to run the tor browser but i'm not able to create a shortcut to it on the launcher or figure out how to ensure i have the latest version. (E.g. apt-get update/upgrade)
So my question is this: Since the tor browser is a manual download, and not from a package repo, how do i ensure it stays up to date? Will the bundle check online each time its run? Or is it up to me now to check the Tor site often to ensure i have the latest version. I'm just curious how others are dealing with this issue.
