Raphael generally creates packages following svn at rough milestones (like when there's something he wants to use) and puts them in experimental, so it should be possible to track a "fairly" recent experimental upload. Current version there is svn r6996, which appears to have been uploaded by Gustavo... so there are users of the experimental packages :) (At the end of the day, it's down to preferences... I like running packaged software, and stable releases - my django work is still mostly against a 0.96 tree...) > My solution for easy Django installation on Debian is to > > apt-get install subversion > svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/... > > It comes with the added benefit of giving you Subversion on your > local machine so you can version-control your own code too ;) I tend to use git for that ;) (and then git-svn to track django, too - but then I appear to have 99% of version control systems installed on my machines :/) > You just have to ensure that your $PYTHONPATH points to wherever > Django ends up.

That's the better reasoning for not using the packaged version, if you're supporting multiple different sites against different versions of django.
