How to install gcc 4.9 on Ubuntu 14.04?

Question

Now that gcc 4.9 is officially released, is there an easy and convenient way to install it on Ubuntu 14.04 through the package manager (ie. apt-get)?

I would also appreciate information on how to properly configure my system to use it as its compiler.

I was hoping for a more convenient answer now that the release is official. — Nicolas Louis Guillemot, Apr 22 '14 at 16:05
No, there isn't. Check http://askubuntu.com/questions/151283/why-dont-the-ubuntu-repositories-have-the-latest-versions-of-software to know why — Braiam, Apr 22 '14 at 22:37
That's a shame. I was hoping for some kind of quick and convenient way to upgrade to the experimental version. Do you think I should leave this question open, or should I accept mohtaw's answer? — Nicolas Louis Guillemot, Apr 22 '14 at 22:48
