Is there a PPA offering CMake >= 3.2 for Ubuntu Precise?

Question

I'm trying to get cmake 3.2 or newer on travis-ci, which runs precise. Is there any PPA? I found ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x but it doesn't offer precise.

I found this question offering manual installation steps, so if there's no existing PPA, I can use that.

Daenyth, most 'new' toolchains are going to end up having to be made on newer systems, if only because older LTS sometimes has very little library support for newer software... — Thomas Ward, Sep 28 '15 at 13:20

Update

There is a PPA for Precise, see @NathanOsman answer.

You could compile it yourself. The example below is for cmake 3.2.x. Check here for the latest version, currently 3.3.2.

sudo apt-get install build-essential
wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v3.2/cmake-3.2.2.tar.gz
tar xf cmake-3.2.2.tar.gz
cd cmake-3.2.2
./configure
make

and install

with checkinstall for a installed deb package

sudo apt-get install checkinstall
sudo checkinstall

OR

with make install
```
sudo make install
```
