From where I will get gedit latest version? Current I have 3.10.4 installed on my Ubuntu version 14.10. Do we have any ppa available to download latest gedit?

2.sudo apt-get update then

3.sudo apt-get remove gedit && sudo apt-get install gedit then

4.sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:suraia/ppathen REBOOT and

5.gedit -V you should see the version of gedit.

If the version you want is not in the official PPAs (for 14.04 LTS it looks like it's currently gedit (3.10.4-0ubuntu4)) there can be good reasons for this, mainly that newer versions are not tested, not considered stable, et cetera.

If you really want to try newer versions of software, you can usually get newer versions directly from the respective web pages of the applications themselves. Googling for gedits website showed that they do have a library of source packages:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gedit/

The bleeding edge seems to be 3.14.2 (as you request) and it was put up on Dec 4th. No wonder it's not in the PPAs! Download gedit-3.14.2.tar.xz and install the application from source.

Good luck!

This worked for me:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get remove gedit libgtksourceview-3.0-common
sudo apt-get install gedit=3.4.1-0ubuntu1 gedit-common=3.4.1-0ubuntu1 \
     libgtksourceview-3.0-0 libgtksourceview-3.0-common=3.4.1-0ubuntu1 \
     gir1.2-gtksource-3.0=3.4.1-0ubuntu1

That installed the latest version of gedit as of this comment.
