Gnome 3.8 is released and I wanted to have it on my system running Ubuntu 12.04. I came across this:
Gnome 3.8 on Ubuntu 12.04.2 lts
In the answers, it is mentioned that Gnome 3.8 is not available in 12.04 in a straight forward way.
Can someone please explain why?
As far as my understanding,the version 3.8 will be available through software centre only when Canonical provides it through their updates.
I have installed Gnome 3 through the PPA provided by the Gnome 3 team. So shouldn’t it be available as soon as a newer version is released in the PPA? Or, does it still depend on the OS version also?
The solution mentioned here adds three PPAs to the software source.

The first PPA(Gnome 3 team) is the one I already have. What are the other two PPAs supposed to do?
