Update Vim to latest Version on Ubuntu 12.04

I have started to use Vim and oh boy! the learning curve is really steep. I am using it to write code as well as any blog posts. Recently, I came across a plugin - YouCompleteMe. But while installing it, it see it requires vim 7.3.584+ and I have vim 7.3.429.

How do I update Vim? All I could find in my research is I have to build vim from source from scratch. Is there any other way that I can update Vim to a later version?

I found a way to update Vim to the latest version without removing pre-installed vim and re-installing it from scratch.

Following commands will get the job done:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fcwu-tw/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install vim
