Correct. The one and only official release mechanism is via the packages listed on the Django downloads page. We do tag things in SVN as a convenience (and for historical purposes), and keep code organized into release-specific branches people can deploy from if they want to, but the answer to the question "what is Django 1.2.3" is "the file Django-1.2.3.tar.gz listed on the downloads page". -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
