 2. Django setup
 
-        At the time of initial release, patchwork depends on a svn version of
-        django. I've been using svn commit 7854 - but anything after this
-        point should be fine. If your distribution provides a sufficiently
-        recent version of django, you can use that; if not, do a:
+        Set up some initial directories in the patchwork base directory:
+
+        mkdir -p lib/packages lib/python
+
+        At the time of release, patchwork depends on django version 1.0 or
+        later. Your distro probably provides this. If not, do a:
 
          cd lib/packages
-         svn checkout http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk django
+         svn checkout http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/tags/releases/1.2
          cd ../python
          ln -s ../packages/django/django ./django
 
         We also use the django-registration infrastructure from
-        http://code.google.com/p/django-registration/
+        http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/. Your distro
+        may provide the django-registration python module (in Ubuntu/Debian it's
+        called 'python-django-registration'). If not, download the module
+        and symlink it to lib/python/ :
 
          cd lib/packages/
-         svn checkout \
-             http://django-registration.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/registration/ \

+         cd ../python
+         ln -s ../lib/packages/django-registration/registration ./registration
+
+               We also use some Javascript libraries:
