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

Linux distributions

|
===================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Debian
|
||||||
|
------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A `packaged version of Django`_ is available for `Debian GNU/Linux`_, and can be
|
||||||
|
installed from either the "testing" or the "unstable" repositories by typing
|
||||||
|
``apt-get install python-django``.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you install this package, ``apt`` will recommend installing a database
|
||||||
|
adapter; you should select and install the adapter for whichever database you
|
||||||
|
plan to use with Django.

|
||||||
|
fashion as for Debian.

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A Django build is available for `Gentoo Linux`_, and is based on Django 0.95.1.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||

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