GNOME shell on 3.16 for ubuntu 14.04

Question

I am trying to install gnome-shell 3.16 on ubuntu 14.04.2 with kernel version 3.16.

I was only able to upgrade gnome-shell from 3.10 to 3.12.2. After that it is not upgrading to gnome-shell 3.14.

gnome shell 3.15 and 3.16 appear to have been released for vivid and not trusty. See: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-gnome-packaging/+archive/ubuntu/shell-3.16 — Elder Geek, Apr 10 '15 at 16:36

This commands do not work on 14.04. The latest Gnome installed is still 3.12 – dadexix86 Jun 03 '15 at 09:56
