[Twisted-Python] http://twistedmatrix.com/ trac installation updated
Hi all, Thomas and I have finished upgrading the trac installation on http://twistedmatrix.com/ to 0.11.6. We expect that this will resolve a number of the issues the site has had. If you notice anything broken about the website now, please point it out. Jean-Paul

I second this sentiment! I am *thrilled* that we're now on a released version of trac, and I applaud the hard work that it took to get us there. Hopefully now it will be easier for other people to help pitch in with administrative tasks :).

Here's a minor thing... When viewing a diff, the legend is incomplete. I just see text ("Unmodified", "Added", etc.) without any images/colors. It's a tiny thing, but you did ask... :) browser: Firefox 3.5 on Win32 Kevin Horn

I'm somewhat regularly (although I'm not sure exactly how often) getting this: Error 503 Service Unavailable Service Unavailable Guru Meditation: XID: 1905866058 Varnish It appears to be an artifact of the upgrade. Also, the spacing on the revision log and repository browser seems wrong; many table rows are double height for some reason. Still, I'm not complaining - just the fact that things paginate now has made the experience of doing triage much more pleasant!

In case of FF-3.6 the rows are triple height and filled in a funny ragged way. In addition to that the menu is overlapped in FF but this was the same way before update. BTW in IE6 menu is OK. -- Mikhail Terekhov
Hello, I want to create a twisted daemon from my application: if __name__ == '__main__': import nfdprocess, sys log.startLogging(sys.stdout) serverContext = ServerContextFactory() serverContext.protocol = nfdprocess.HandlePacket port =int(sys.argv[1]) checkT = checkTables() checkT.resetTablesToOffline() outgoingTable = LoopingCall(checkT.checkOutgoingMessageQueue,serverContext) incomingTable = LoopingCall(checkT.checkIncomingMessageQueue,serverContext) checkStates= LoopingCall(checkT.checkConnectionStates,serverContext) outgoingTable.start(0.5) incomingTable.start(1) checkStates.start(1) reactor.listenSSL(port, serverContext, serverContext) reactor.run() Currently I have a class called nfdmessenger. I am running the object.
python nfdmessenger.py 2000
However I would run it as a deamon. Not sure how to do this? Can somebody be so kind and offer some pointers on this? Much appreciated, Garyc
Hi,
I want to create a twisted daemon from my application: ...
You want to use twistd. See http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/basics.html#auto1 The process is roughly: 1) create a myapp.tac file which essentially loads in your server and wraps it in an application 2) run something like: $ twistd -r epoll -y myapp.tac which will daemonize your server (using the epoll reactor) and write its pid to twistd.pid A .tac file could look something like: from twisted.application import service, internet from myapp import MyAppServer def get_service(): """ Return a service suitable for creating an application object. """ site = MyAppServer() port = 2000 return internet.TCPServer(2000, site) application = service.Application('MyApplicationName') # attach the service to its parent application service = get_service() service.setServiceParent(application) Also, keep in mind you might want to use twistd in conjunction with a process runner (http://dustin.github.com/2010/02/28/running-processes.html). That is, if you're using something like Ubuntu, you probably want to run twistd using upstart. Hope this helps.

I'm not an expert on css so I can't comment on that. The thing is that I've never seen that behavior in any other Trac site on the net, so it is something twistedmatrix specific IMHO.
In addition to that the menu is overlapped in FF but this was the same way before update. BTW in IE6 menu is OK.
Which menu is that?
The Wiki/Timeline/... and Login/Preferences/..., see attached screen shot.

I think the Trac installation was updated (the software) but not the template with all the css, so it's trying to make an early (alpha?) version of Trac 0.11 look like Trac 0.11.6. Is it possible to take a clean css export from a new Trac environment and merge the existing css styles in there? Let me know if you need help with that of course. Cheers, Thijs

Ah, I see. That menu looks fine on my machine (using Firefox 3.7a3 on Linux), but I can get something sort of similar if I boost the Firefox's 'minimum font size' option to 12 or 13 instead of my usual 10. It turns out that the "banner" section (from the green gradient to the top, down to "Login/Preferences/...") is sized at exactly 135px high, which makes some grave assumptions about the sizes of the fonts involved. If I delete that fixed height, then the two rows of menus no longer overlap. The lower menu (Wiki/Timeline/...) still looks a bit odd, because its gradient background is an image exactly 22px tall, so if the text is higher than that you get a dark margin appearing below. Not much to be done about, that, really - except perhaps changing the background colour so it matches the final colour in the gradient, which makes the problem less obvious rather than actually fixing it.
