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.

|
|
|
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.

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.
