+== Python SSL Backport Packaging ==
+As of Bcfg2 1.0, Bcfg2 has switched to the in-tree ssl module included with python 2.6. A backport exists for 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5. With this, M2Crypto is not needed, and tlslite is no longer included with bcfg2 sources. The ssl module can be found [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ssl/1.14 here]. See [wiki:Authentication] for details. 
+
+To build a package of the ssl backport for .deb based distributions that don't ship with python 2.6, you can follow these instructions, which use [http://github.com/astraw/stdeb/tree/master stdeb]. Alternatively if you happen to have .deb packaging skills, it would be great to get policy-complaint .debs into the major deb-based distributions.

+For complete bcfg2 goodness, you'll also want to package stdeb using stdeb:
