2 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. |

65 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. |
