There are 3 sections in there, all useless. Section 1 tells you how to install Swift packages from the swift-core PPA. However, the latest version there is ancient. Section 2 tells you how to build your own Swift packages. However, it talks about getting the source code from the "debian" branch in bzr, which is obviously really old. Section 3 tells you how to take the packages from section 2 and install them. This isn't too out-of-date, but since section 2 doesn't work any more, section 3 is useless. Since stale docs are worse than no docs, there's no current information in this document, and bringing it up-to-date requires a whole pile of work, I've chosen to delete it entirely. Also pulled out a couple references to the PPA elsewhere. Fixes bug 917385. Fixes bug 1026145. Change-Id: I510bd8619531fe110419e5488bd20d3602868d66

Welcome to Swift's documentation!
Swift is a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store. Organizations can use Swift to store lots of data efficiently, safely, and cheaply.
This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source tree. Additional documentation on Swift and other components of OpenStack can be found on the OpenStack wiki and at http://docs.openstack.org.
