* Define your settings.py:

- Base it on 'settings_default.py':
  (already done if you're downloading an official release)

  echo 'from settings_default import *' > settings.py

- Modify if necessary, e.g.: DATABASES = {...}


* Dependencies

- Django >= 1.2 (+ YAML support)
- Django annoying (programming helpers)
- Django registration (users can create an account)
- MySQLdb (python-mysql)
- MySQL (database server)
- PyME (GPG Made Easy for Python)
- ssh-keygen (optional, to check submitted SSH public keys)
- gpg (compute group keyrings)
- gettext (compile translations)

As Debian packages:

apt-get install python-django python-mysqldb python-yaml mysql-server python-pyme mercurial
apt-get install openssh-client gnupg gettext

hg clone http://bitbucket.org/offline/django-annoying/
hg clone http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/


* Install process

You will need to create the mysql user:

  mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE savane DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8;"
  mysql -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON savane.* TO 'savane' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpass';"

Edit the the file savane/settings.py and edit the DATABASES block with
the proper credentials for your MySQL database.

Initialize the database::

  ./manage.py syncdb
  ./manage.py loaddata savane/*/fixtures/*.yaml

Compile the translations::

  ./manage.py compilemessages


* Run for testing:

You can test your install using:
 $ ./manage.py loaddata savane/svmain/fixtures/demo/*.yaml
 $ ./manage.py runserver
