Just a little heads up for Django newcomers. Don't install Django with apt. The official Git repo is best so you can get the latest bug fixes. If you want a turn-key solution, use Pip.
- asksol 15y agoPeople used to do this before, but most have finally started using the versioned releases. It makes things easier for everyone. You shouldn't use Django trunk in production unless you have a very good reason to.
- brendoncrawford 15y agoOn the projects I am working on, we have encountered bugs in the Django 1.3 stable release. So, based on my own experience, I recommend using Django trunk (with extensive testing of course).
- intranation 15y agoDon't you mean the official SVN release? https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/install/#installing-development-version https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/install/#instal... I believe all the Git repos are just mirrors of SVN.
- brendoncrawford 15y agoI prefer GIT, so I recommend GIT. I see no need to turn this into a SVN vs GIT discussion.
- intranation 15y agoI'm a Git user too, so no flaming: I just feel it's best to get source code from the original source in case the mirror isn't up to date for whatever reason.
