Some Linux distributions offer a version of Supervisor that is installable

through the system package manager. These packages may include
87-
distribution-specific changes to Supervisor.

Some of these packages can lag considerably behind the official

through the system package manager. These packages are made by third parties,
87+
not the Supervisor developers, and often include distribution-specific changes

to Supervisor.

Use the package management tools of your distribution to check availability;
9691
e.g. on Ubuntu you can run ``apt-cache show supervisor``, and on CentOS
9792
you can run ``yum info supervisor``.

Packaged Supervisor will normally already be integrated into the service
100-
management infrastructure of your distribution.

A feature of distribution packages of Supervisor is that they will usually
95+
include integration into the service management infrastructure of the
96+
distribution, e.g. allowing ``supervisord`` to automatically start when
97+
the system boots.

Distribution packages of Supervisor can lag considerably behind the
102+
official Supervisor packages released to PyPI. For example, Ubuntu
103+
12.04 (released April 2012) offers a package based on Supervisor 3.0a8
104+
(released January 2010).

Users have reported that the distribution package of Supervisor for
109+
Ubuntu 16.04 has different behavior than previous versions. On Ubuntu
110+
10.04, 12.04, and 14.04, installing the package will configure the system
111+
to start ``supervisord`` when the system boots. On Ubuntu 16.04, this is
112+
not done. See `Ubuntu Bug #1594740 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/supervisor/+bug/1594740>`_
113+
for more information.
