−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.

−A `packaged version of Django`_ is available for `Debian GNU/Linux`_, and can be

+
−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.

−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.
