To highlight where we are at: A) - 'tasks' - async processing which needs new processes, transactional handling in the event of system interrupts, are best done using the existing TaskSystem, and please do get involved in or work on the refining of the NewTaskSystem that Aaron has been leading.
B) - 'events' and failure-tolerant 'do this later' stuff - We *have Rabbit* for this, though test suite glue is missing. If you want to add test suite glue, you need to change 'make run' to start a rabbit, and add a Layer with Rabbit in it, then go ahead and do whatever it is you need to do. C) - 'maintenance' tasks - please use the 'garbo' framework for this. Many cron jobs will fall into either A, B or C and can be eliminated immediately. Cron jobs that don't fall into A B or C may need further analysis. Cron jobs which fall into A but cannot be done in the current task system probably need some discussion :) -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
