Ray Kraesig a4ababb9a4 vagrant docs: specify restart command
Add a specific command to restart Vagrant to adopt the new
configuration.

(When naïvely using only `vagrant halt` + `vagrant up --provision`,
external devices remained unable to connect; per `netstat -nltp`, the
host IP of forwarded ports remained `127.0.0.1`.)

https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/pull/3404#issuecomment-477411875

A discussion followed at

https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/3-backend/topic/commit.20line.20length

and that was agreed on for the commit message body, but noted that a
length of 76 was acceptable for the summary because of the
single-line constraint and the fact that it ends in a period, making
it clear where it ends.

Anders Kaseorg db44d61aab setup-apt-repo: Remove PPA and packagecloud repository.
We no longer use tsearch_extras, and the camo patch is irrelevant on

Mateusz Mandera 6bd34afa0d models: Migration of UserMessage.id to bigint, part 2.
This requires part 1 (which can take hours to run but generally
doesn't require downtime) to be completed first.

This portion of the migration will require the server to be completely
down for a brief period; for chat.zulip.org with 250M UserMessage
rows, it took about 60s to run; that time will vary depending on
hardware details like whether the server has an SSD, but fundamentally
shouldn't be long.

Our upgrade-zulip and upgrade-zulip-from-git tools can apply this
migration correctly; nothing special needs to be done.

Fixes #13040.

Tim Abbott 92d8c5dec6 docs: Recommend zulip::base when deploying subsets of Zulip.
One needs to explicitly request zulip::base, it appears.  Ideally,
we'd just have every ruleset depend on zulip::base, but I seem to
recall Puppet didn't like your including the same module from multiple
places.  Worth testing as a follow-up investigation.

This was missed because we use the zulip_ops rules internally, which
include zulip::base via zulip_ops::base.

This commit finishes adding end-to-end support for the install script

David Rosa 0d52d24d64 docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark
Summary:
- recommonmark: 0.4.0 -> 0.5.0
- CommonMark: 0.5.4 -> 0.9.0
- Fixed links getting their .md file extension cut off
- Supressed 262 new warnings

Details:
Appended #anchors to markdown github links as a workaround to
recommonmark 0.5.0 cutting off the ".md" part from them.
Sphinx build would fail as follows

[documentation_crawler] ERROR: Please check link:
<404 https://github.com/zulip/zulipbot/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING>
<404 https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/master/requirements/README>
<404 https://github.com/zulip/python-zulip-api/blob/master/zulip_bots/README>

sphinx build would also log a "WARNING: None:any reference target not found"
for every link ending in .html
So a good temporary solution is to suppress all warnings with the method suggested here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37359407/suppress-warnings-for-unfound-references-with-default-role-any-in-sphinx

A better solution would be to edit all links ending .html and use .md instead;
which would also solve PR #11719.

Fixes #11395.

Harshit Bansal bf14a0af4d auth: Migrate google auth to python-social-auth.
This replaces the two custom Google authentication backends originally
written in 2012 with using the shared python-social-auth codebase that
we already use for the GitHub authentication backend.  These are:

* GoogleMobileOauth2Backend, the ancient code path for mobile
  authentication last used by the EOL original Zulip Android app.

* The `finish_google_oauth2` code path in zerver/views/auth.py, which
  was the webapp (and modern mobile app) Google authentication code
  path.

This change doesn't fix any known bugs; its main benefit is that we
get to remove hundreds of lines of security-sensitive semi-duplicated
code, replacing it with a widely trusted, high quality third-party
library.

Puneeth Chaganti 717d1e504d ldap: Turn off the AUTH_LDAP_ALWAYS_UPDATE_USER setting.
The `AUTH_LDAP_ALWAYS_UPDATE_USER` is `True` by default, and this would sync the
attributes defined in the `AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP` to the user profile. But,
the default code in `django-auth-ldap` would work correctly only for `full_name`
field. This commit disables the setting by default, in favour of using the
`sync_ldap_user_data` script as a cron job.

This guide was originally written as part of the process of adding

There's probably a separate follow-up project we should do to move the
developers-only content to a separate article, since it's kinda lost
here for that audience.

Steve Howell 6b39d6004e zjquery: Use Proxy to detect undefined stubs.
We now use a Proxy to wrap zjquery elements, so
that we can detect callers trying to invoke methods
(or access attributes) that do not exist.  We try
to give useful error messages in those cases.

The main impact here is that we force lots of tests
to explicitly stub `length`.

Also, we can't do equality checks on zjquery
objects any more due to the proxy object, but the
easy workaround is to compare selectors.  (This
is generally an unnecessary technique, anyway.)

The proxy wrapper is fairly straightforward, and
we just have a few special cases for things like
"inspect" that happen when you try to print out
objects.

Kouhei Sutou a046a0957b docs: Fix upgrade process for Ubuntu 16.04 -> 18.04.
We need to disable "CREATE EXTENSION pgroonga" in zulip-puppet-apply
by creating /usr/share/postgresql/10/pgroonga_setup.sql.applied.
Because PostgreSQL 10 isn't running in this case. If PostgreSQL 10
isn't running, we can't run "CREATE EXTENSION pgroonga".

We can't use pg_upgrade with PGroonga. PGroonga's install SQL
https://github.com/pgroonga/pgroonga/blob/master/data/pgroonga.sql has
conditions to support multiple PostgreSQL versions. So it's not safe
to use pg_upgrade. pg_upgrade copies metadata for PostgreSQL 9.5 to
PostgreSQL 10. We need to use pg_dump and pg_restore to upgrade
PGroonga correctly for PostgreSQL 10.

Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as

But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.

This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub

issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.

Tim Abbott fac875a922 docs: Eliminate most development manual install docs.
This documentation had a tendency to bitrot, and in any case now that

the case that adding other Linux/UNIX distros we care about to
provision would not be difficult and is a better path than maintaining
this manually-curated duplicate of `tools/provision`.

Further, even if this documentation was maintained, one would still
end up wanting to run `provision` after rebasing a branch, so it was
never particularly practical for extended development.

Rishi Gupta d833c70dc7 org settings: Explain Zoom support is experimental, and fix a few strings.
