It can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple months for
updates and newly packaged applications to reach the public
repositories, depending on the importance of the update, the current
point in the development cycle, and the availability and interest of
reviewers. All such updates are committed to the then current
development release (Intrepid Ibex right now). Once accepted, it may
be possible to update a previous release, either as a stable update
(for critical fixes) or a backport (for newer upstream versions that
do not break existing installations). Either process to update a
previous release typically takes a minimum of two weeks, but is not
often pursued for the majority of updates as most developers are
focused on the quality of the upcoming release.
