message queue : preferred or recommended choices?

[Carlos]

Hi.  I have very little experience setting up MQs so I have a couple questions which may be obvious.

The README says that gitorious is using stomp and ActiveMQ.  Is this info current?  

To get something up and running quickly for light load, what would be a good choice for a MQ?  

As an aside, I see that the 'recipe' for ubuntu is pretty dated.  I'm taking notes as I go, which I will share if it looks like it will help.

I see the options have expanded to include resque and what appears to be a lightweight synchronous messaging mode.  I'm really not interested in sync.  I wonder if anyone can offer some general advice on picking resque versus stopm vs. activemq.  I am not a Rubyist, but it looks to me like the ActiveMessaging page mentioned in the docs [http://code.google.com/p/activemessaging/wiki/Installation] has not been updated in a while.  I'd like to go with soemthing which is actively maintained.

Thanks!

Carlos,

If we could do it without breaking existing installations we would throw out the ActiveMessaging code right now and go with Rescue. You should be able to do so by 

- install Redis

- set messaging_adapter: resque in gitorious.yml

- run the poller

Cheers,

Thanks again, Maurius.  I see that resque seems to be pretty popular.  Cool.  I get to reuse what I know about Redis.  :)
