Third-party distributions of Django |

=================================== |
|---|
| 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 dependencies (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. |

FreeBSD |
|---|
| 19 |
======= |
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 |
The `FreeBSD`_ ports system offers both Django 0.96 (`py-django`_) and a more |
|---|
| 22 |
recent, but not current, version based on Django's trunk (`py-django-devel`_). |
|---|
| 23 |
These are installed in the normal FreeBSD way; for Django 0.96, for example, type: |
|---|
| 24 |
``cd /usr/ports/www/py-django && sudo make install clean``. |

For distributors |
|---|
| 95 |
================ |
|---|
| 96 |
|
|---|
| 97 |
If you'd like to package Django for distribution, we'd be happy to help out! |
|---|
| 98 |
Please join the `django-developers mailing list`_ and introduce yourself. |
|---|
| 99 |
|
|---|
| 100 |
We also encourage all distributors to subscribe to the `django-announce mailing |
|---|
| 101 |
list`_, which is a (very) low-traffic list for announcing new releases of Django |
|---|
| 102 |
and important bugfixes. |
