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 This isn't too out-of-date, but since section 2 doesn't work any more, section 3 is useless.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

Getting Swift
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Swift's source code is hosted on github and managed with git. The current trunk can be checked out like this:
|
|
|
|
``git clone https://github.com/openstack/swift.git``
|
|
|
|
A source tarball for the latest release of Swift is available on the `launchpad project page <https://launchpad.net/swift>`_.
|
|
|
|
Prebuilt packages for Ubuntu are available starting with Natty, or from PPAs for earlier releases.
|
|
|
|
* `Swift Ubuntu Packages <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/swift>`_
|
|
* `Swift PPA Archive <https://launchpad.net/~swift-core/+archive/release>`_
