"Deploying Twisted Applications" howto

[itamarst]

Something like:

0. Self-runnable script with reactor.run()
1. Organize app into services (point at the services howto)
2. TACs, using them
3. Hooking up TAC to config file
4. TAPs (recommend against, then point at mktap howto)
5. Using  tap2deb/rpm/ntsvc with TACs and TAPs

This will need some reorg when we someday improve twistd to be a library.

Can anyone give me a status of the relevance of the techniques mentioned in the list above (and update the ticket description)?

0. reactor.run(), as in original list.
1. services, already covered by ​http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/application.html
2. TACs... already covered by ​http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/application.html
3. twistd plugins, already covered by ​http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/tap.html

We can also probably skip tap2rpm and friends, considering the state they're in.

So, most of this is already covered, at best we need some sort of overview document telling people in what order they should read stuff.
