Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: "Fabrizio Regalli" <fabreg@fabreg.it> * Package name : fishpoll Version : 1.0.6 Upstream Author : Owen W. Taylor <otaylor@fishsoup.net> * URL : http://git.fishsoup.net/cgit/fishpoll/ * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: C, Python Description : daemon to run scripts when triggered from the network Fishpoll is meant to deal with a common situation. You have a data source (a version control repository, a database, etc). You have something built from that data source (a web site, say). When the data source changes, you want to rebuild. The traditional thing to do is to run your update out of a cron job. But even if you are running the script every minute, that's still a whole minute you have to wait. So, fishpoll acts as a network daemon that allows checking to be triggered explicitly by sending a message.
