Generic long poll server used by Launchpad and Landscape.

Dependencies

By default txlongpoll attempts to fetch resources from the internet.

instead it tries and you must download all the dependencies yourself.

If you prefer to find all dependencies from download-cache/dist, then prepend OFFLINE=1 to your make commands:

$ OFFLINE=1 make build
$ OFFLINE=1 make check

Building

$ make build

will build only those parts needed to run txlongpoll. No support for tags or testing.

Testing

$ make check

will build all the test-related parts of txlongpoll and then do a full test run, but

$ make bin/testpy

will just do the first part.

There is testrepository https://launchpad.net/testrepository support, so you can also do the following:

$ testr init
$ testr run

This is probably the best way to develop txlongpoll.

Continous Integration

The lp:txlongpoll branch is mirrored on GitHub using a Launchpad webhook:

https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/txlongpoll

Travis builds will be triggered at each commit:

https://travis-ci.org/CanonicalLtd/txlongpoll/builds

Running

$ bin/twistd txlongpoll
