Comment:
The patch will need to be brought up to date if someone wants this
included in 1.2. The documentation has been restructured since that patch
was made and docs/install.txt no longer exists, I believe the beginning
content is now in docs/topics/install.txt. I think parts of what were on
that page have also been moved to other pages, and some of the content has
changed (e.g. mod_python is no longer the recommended plugin for Apache,
and there are specific pages for deployment that would be more appropriate
for some of the recommendations in the patch). I'm also a bit concerned
that some of the information/pointers have gotten out of date by now, so
updating the patch should also involve verifying that the information is
still correct. Finally on a quick read-through of the patch I'm a little
worried it changes the install instructions to be a bit too Windows-
centric; it seems like every other sentence has a special-case for
Windows. I'm not sure that's entirely necessary or good. I just don't
recall that many Windows install questions coming up on django-users
lately (don't hang out on django IRC so can't comment on that one), so I
am not sure there is as much of a problem here as there may once have been
(there did used to be some pretty weird install bugs with Django on
Windows, but they have been fixed).
