KDevelop has a new release 4.6 http://kdevelop.org/46/kdevelop-460-final-released

I would like to install this on Ubuntu 13.04 (or Ubuntu 13.10 if that would be easier) The proper way to install package on Ubuntu is using apt-get. So I tried : 

sudo apt-get install kdevelop

Unfortunately this installs KDevelop 4.5. On the KDevelop site are a huge list of instructions. Error prone and time consuming. http://techbase.kde.org/KDevelop4/HowToCompile

Can KDevelop 4.6 be installed using apt-get? If so, how ?
