Remove updaterdaemon #187

Closed slinkp closed 11 years ago

slinkp commented 11 years ago

It's flaky, see #180. It's also useless if you write non-python scraper scripts that push news in via the openblock REST API.

One option for python jobs is to use celery, which includes a scheduler; but this doesn't work properly with pure-django back end - see #199 - and we don't want to force people to install rabbitmq or redis.

Instead, let's encourage people to use cron, or whatever cron alternative they like. We can provide example crontabs.
