Updatation of TexLive package- (for unix, linux flavors and mactex)
all tex live distribution contain
1. binaries
2. packages and classes
for updating tex live there is separate update schedule for both of these. The TeX Live binary part of the distribution undergoes a major update only once a year, while the packages can be updated constantly.
if you have for example TeXLive 2011, you can update its packages roughly until TeXLive 2012 is created. After that point, your 2011 system will not be able to update any packages ever again using the normal package manager. (You can update individual packages manually via CTAN, of course.)
Binaries updates available once in a year and once it is out you have to update like you have to install distribution fresh, now you would not be able to update the packages but manually packages can be updated via CTAN.

Continuation my previous post on latex, i just want to ensure that i am using the latest version of tex-live as i checked using
$tex --version
i got to know that i am running tex-live 2009 version and 2012 is already there on TUG website.
So i checked why is it so and i deciphered that by default if you install tex-live using
$sudo apt-get install tex-live
it will install tex-live version 2009
for testing which version of tex live you are running on your machine use
$tex --version
it will return version of tex live you are using
Now for installing tex-live version 2011 on your machine follow following steps-
Although the most recent version of tex-live is tex-live 2012.
STEP : 1
To install TeX live 2011 on ubuntu 11.10, download the installer “install.tl” from
http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz
STEP :2
Extract the package. Now open terminal, and go to the directory where the folder is extracted. In the extracted folder you will have “install.tl” file, which is a perl file.
Now, give the command
“sudo perl install.tl”
