[TYPO3-english] Auto update?

["HocomAdvies [  Wiechert Hooghwinkel]

Hello,

Just to be sure if I understand how the auto-update feature in the Installer works. On the server the typo3 source files are under /usr/share/  
They are accessible through a (in this case direct) symlink. So the “cores” can be shared on several sites. 

If lets say Typo3 7.6.0 checks for a core update, it recommends updating to 7.6.4. If than performing that update, what doe the auto updater do? Looking for a newer “core” or just change the symlink into a symlink towards the latest source version? I assume if, that, when that version is not available on the server it will not be possible to perform the update? Right?  Or will the updater also download the new Typo3 source? I assume that downloading the new source must still be done through wget (git) or any other way? 

Best regards,
