| 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. |

| 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. |
