Third-party distributions of Django |
|---|
| 3 |
=================================== |
|---|
| 4 |
|
|---|
| 5 |
Several third-party distributors are now providing versions of Django integrated |
|---|
| 6 |
with their package-management systems. These can make installation and upgrading |
|---|
| 7 |
much easier for users of Django since the integration includes the ability to |
|---|
| 8 |
automatically install dependancies (like database adapters) that Django |
|---|
| 9 |
requires. |
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 |
Typically, these packages are based on the latest stable release of Django, so |
|---|
| 12 |
if you want to use the development version of Django you'll need to follow the |
|---|
| 13 |
instructions for `installing the development version`_ from our Subversion |
|---|
| 14 |
repository. |

|

plan to use with Django. |

For distributors |
|---|
| 66 |
================ |
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 |
If you'd like to package Django for distribution, we'd be happy to help out! |
|---|
| 69 |
Please join the `django-developers mailing list`_ and introduce yourself. |
|---|
| 70 |
|
|---|
| 71 |
We also encourage all distributors to subscribe to the `django-announce mailing |
|---|
| 72 |
list`_, which is a (very) low-traffic list for announcing new releases of Django |
|---|
| 73 |
and important bugfixes. |
