+= Web Portal =
+
+The RPKI Web Portal currently requires Django 1.2 or later.
+
+Django upstream currently provides support for the previous two minor releases, which is 1.2 and 1.3 as of the writing of this page (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/internals/release-process/#supported-versions).
+
+Targeting RHEL/CentOS/Scientific 6.x and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.  Should work with any newer Fedora or Ubuntu release as well, but those are not typically deployed as production servers.
+
+
+== Platforms ==
+
+=== Ubuntu 10.04 ===
+
+Ships with Django 1.1.1 which is out of upstream's support window.  My recommendation is to install or rebuild a newer supported release.
+
+* Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) and Natty (11.04) do have 1.2.x releases, but seem to be missing the security patches from the 1.2.7 release (https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2011/sep/09/security-releases-issued/).  
+* The 1.3 release in Oneiric (11.10) also seems to be missing the security updates from that same advisory.
+
+==== Installing Django 1.3.1 PPA ====
+
+This section describes how to install a pre-built PPA package for python-django 1.3.1.
+
+Put the following in your `/etc/apt/sources.list`:
+{{{
+deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chris-lea/python-django/ubuntu lucid main 
+deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chris-lea/python-django/ubuntu lucid main 
+}}}
+
+Then run the following commands:
+{{{
+# apt-get update
+# apt-get install python-django
+}}}
+
+* [https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/python-django python-django PPAs]
+
+==== Rebuilding python-django from source deb ====
+
+The 1.3.1 package from Precise Pangolin (12.04 LTS) doesn't build due to build dependencies for newer python-sphinx than ships with 10.04 LTS.  However, once built you can install the new python-django package on other systems without needing to upgrade other packages.  You can also chose to build the 1.2.5 release from Natty (11.04).
+
+To rebuild the python-django package:
+{{{
+# apt-get install dpkg-dev
+# apt-get build-dep python-django
+# tar zxvf python-django_1.2.5.orig.tar.gz
+# cd Django-1.2.5
+# tar zxvf ../python-django_1.2.5-1ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz
+# dpkg-buildpackage
+}}}
+
+* https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-django
+
+=== RHEL/CentOS/Scientific 6 ===
+
+Django is not included in base OS, but Django 1.2 is available via EPEL (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL).
+
+Once you have enabled the EPEL repository, you can run:
+{{{
+# yum install Django
+}}}
+
+==== SELinux ====
+
+Extra steps are required to run the Web Portal with SELinux enabled.
