This is the first try at rewriting Idavoll using Twisted Python.


What is Idavoll
===============

A pubsub service, as defined in JEP-0060, aiming to be fully compliant and
mostly complete. The goal is to build a /generic/ pubsub service, but of which
parts can be reused for building custom pubsub services for specific
applications.


Current Status
==============

It is still very experimental, has hardcoded nodes and subscriptions and no
storage for items.

It does implement the mimimal requirements of JEP-0060 version 1.4. It also
returns the following features defined in version 1.5 of the specification:

	http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#outcast-affil
	http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#publisher-affil

It lacks support for requesting the current affiliations, and doesn't allow
for discoing for meta-data of nodes. Therefore it is not compliant with 1.5,
yet.

Requirements
============

- Twisted >= 1.2.0 
- The following patches to the twisted/xish directory:

    http://mag.ik.nu/~ralphm/tmp/domish.py.patch
    http://mag.ik.nu/~ralphm/tmp/utility.py.patch
    http://mag.ik.nu/~ralphm/tmp/xpath.py.patch

- A jabber server like jabberd 1.4

Usage
=====

For jabberd 1.4 configuration, put the following in jabber.xml:

  <service id='pubsub.localhost'>
    <accept>
      <ip>127.0.0.1</ip>
      <port>1238</port>
      <secret>mysecret</secret>
    </accept>
  </service>

and restart jabberd.

Then, in the same directory as this file run:

  mktap idavoll --rport=1238 --jid=pubsub.localhost --secret=1238
  twistd -rf idavoll.tap
