 What is the recommended way to deploy a Scrapy crawler in production?
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-Scrapy comes with a built-in service based on `Twisted Application Framework`_
-which can be launched through the `twistd`_ command. The ``scrapy.tac`` file
-can be found in the ``extras/`` directory.
-
-If you're running Ubuntu 9.10 or above, you can just use the `official APT
-repos`_ for installing Scrapy in your servers. The Debian package automatically
-deploys the service in the right place and leaves it ready to be started,
-running as the ``scrapy`` user. It also provides an `upstart` script for
-controlling the service.
-
-For a practical example see this `guide on how to deploy a Scrapy crawler on
-Amazon EC2 <http://dev.scrapy.org/wiki/AmazonEC2>`_.
