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

$ make build

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

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

$ bin/twistd txlongpoll
