emc2 does use the standard package management system on ubuntu, dpkg.
Within a release series, (e.g., during 2.2.x) you can upgrade with a
single .deb.
Going from 2.1.x to 2.2.x is more hairy, because we often require new
external packages.
To upgrade from 2.2.x to 2.2.7, download the relevant file linked from
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?InstallingUpdates#On_Ubuntu_without_an_internet_connection
such as
http://linuxcnc.org/emc2/dists/dapper/emc2.2/binary-i386/emc2_2.2.7_i386.deb
for dapper or
http://linuxcnc.org/hardy/dists/hardy/emc2.2/binary-i386/emc2_2.2.7_i386.deb
for hardy/i386.
Install with 'sudo dpkg -i'.
Feel free to improve the the wiki on this subject so that others will
have better access to this information.
