Is there a PPA for gvim > 7.4.338?

The breakindent feature is the greatest thing ever, but it's in 7.4.338. The latest version in the Ubuntu repos is just 7.4, I think. I notice Arch has a package for it, but I can't seem to find one for Ubuntu yet. I'm hopeless with compiling things, otherwise I'd compile it myself.

Solution 1:

There is the pi-rho/dev PPA, which has up-to-date vim packages.

(The current default version for trusty is 8.0.0134.)

The PPA is available for currently supported releases.

Solution 2:

Vim 8.0 (just released, 2016-09-12) can be installed from a PPA in Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/vim
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vim
