We recently changed /developer-community to /development-community.
Now that this change is in production, we can also migrate the
external links in our ReadTheDocs documentation.
This helps increase the probability that folks read the guidelines for how the
chat.zulip.org community works and what streams to use before arriving there.
Fixes#19827.
It feels like the "Same as" content was unnecessarily requiring the
user to bounce around in these cases.
(I've left the "Same as" text for the Ubuntu ones, where it's two
steps in a row to follow).
The support for bullseye was added in #17951
but it was not documented as bullseye was
frozen and did not have proper configuration
files, hence wasn't documented.
Since now bullseye is released as a stable
version, it's support can be documented.
We previously used `zulip-puppet-apply` with a custom config file,
with an updated PostgreSQL version but more limited set of
`puppet_classes`, to pre-create the basic settings for the new cluster
before running `pg_upgradecluster`.
Unfortunately, the supervisor config uses `purge => true` to remove
all SUPERVISOR configuration files that are not included in the puppet
configuration; this leads to it removing all other supervisor
processes during the upgrade, only to add them back and start them
during the second `zulip-puppet-apply`.
It also leads to `process-fts-updates` not being started after the
upgrade completes; this is the one supervisor config file which was
not removed and re-added, and thus the one that is not re-started due
to having been re-added. This was not detected in CI because CI added
a `start-server` command which was not in the upgrade documentation.
Set a custom facter fact that prevents the `purge` behaviour of the
supervisor configuration. We want to preserve that behaviour in
general, and using `zulip-puppet-apply` continues to be the best way
to pre-set-up the PostgreSQL configuration -- but we wish to avoid
that behaviour when we know we are applying a subset of the puppet
classes.
Since supervisor configs are no longer removed and re-added, this
requires an explicit start-server step in the instructions after the
upgrades complete. This brings the documentation into alignment with
what CI is testing.
Recommonmark is no longer maintained, and MyST-Parser is much more
complete.

The script is added to upgrade steps for 20.04 and Buster because
those are the upgrades that cross glibc 2.28, which is most
problematic. It will also be called out in the upgrade notes, to
catch those that have already done that upgrade.
* Move the extended documentation of code blocks to a separate page.
* Merge "code playgrounds" documentation to be a section of that page.
* Document copy widget on code blocks.
* This commit changes how we refer to "```python" type syntax for code
blocks. Instead of being called a syntax highlighting label, this is
now referred to as a "language tag", since it serves both syntax
highlighting and playgrounds.
* Remap all the links.
* Advertise this new page in various places that previously did not have a link.
This hits the unauthenticated Github API to get the list of tags,
which is rate-limited to 60 requests per hour. This means that the
tool can only be run 60 times per hour before it starts to exit with
errors, but that seems like a reasonable limit for the moment.
Using `supervisorctl stop all` to stop the server is not terribly
discoverable, and may stop services which are not part of Zulip
proper.
Add an explicit tool which only stops the relevant services. It also
more carefully controls the order in which services are stopped to
minimize lost requests, and maximally quiesce the server.
Locations which may be stopping _older_ versions of Zulip (without
this script) are left with using `supervisorctl stop all`.
Fixes#14959.
The OS upgrade paths which go through 2.1 do not call
`upgrade-zulip-stage-2` with `--audit-fts-indexes` because that flag
was added in 3.0.
Add an explicit step to do this audit after the 3.0 upgrade. Stating
it as another command to run, rather than attempting to tell them
to add it to the `upgrade-zulip` call that we're linking to seems
easiest, since that does not dictate if they should upgrade to a
release or from the tip of git.
We do not include a step describing this for the Trusty -> Xenial
upgrade, because the last step already chains into Xenial -> Bionic,
which itself describes auditing the indexes.
Fixes#15877.
Only Zulip 3.0 and above support the `--audit-fts-indexes` option to
`upgrade-zulip-stage-2`; saying "same as Bionic to Focal" on other
other steps, which are for Zulip 2.1 or 2.0, will result in errors.
Provide the full text of the updated `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` call in
step 5 for all non-3.0 upgrades. For Trusty to Xenial and Stretch to
Buster, we do not say "Same as Xenial to Bionic" , because it is
likely that readers do not notice that step does not read "Same as
Bionic to Focal."
Running `pg-upgradecluster` runs the `CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY`
and `CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION` from
`zerver/migrations/0001_initial.py` on the new PostgreSQL cluster;
this requires that the stopwords file and dictionary exist _prior_
to `pg_upgradecluster` being run.
This causes a minor dependency conflict -- we do not wish to duplicate
the functionality from `zulip::postgres_appdb_base` which configures
those files, but installing all of `zulip::postgres_appdb_tuned` will
attempt to restart PostgreSQL -- which has not configured the cluster
for the new version yet.
In order to split out configuration of the prerequisites for the
application database, and the steps required to run it, we need to be
able to apply only part of the puppet configuration. Use the
newly-added `--config` argument to provide a more limited `zulip.conf`
which only applies `zulip::postgres_appdb_base` to the new version of
Postgres, creating the required tsearch data files.
This also preserves the property that a failure at any point prior to
the `pg_upgradecluster` is easily recoverable, by re-running
`zulip-puppet-apply`.
Added -d Flag in do-release-upgrade for Bionic to Focal upgrade.
The -d switch is necessary to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
as upgrades have not yet been enabled and will only be enabled
after the first point release of 20.04 LTS.

As alluded to in the previous commit, only 3.0 can use the new tooling
-- indeed, it requires it, as the zulip.conf entry must be changed.
Clarify that in the upgrade steps for earlier distributions.
Update the upgrade documentation for the tool added in the previous
step. Only the Bionic -> Focal upgrade step need be updated, because
none of the other upgrade steps can be run starting from a Zulip 3.0
installation.
Fixes#15415.
After some discussion, everyone seems to agree that 3.0 is the more
appropriate version number for our next major release. This updates
our documentation to reflect that we'll be using 3.0 as our next major
release.
This adds a convenient way to review the upgrade notes for all Zulip
releases that one is upgrading across.
I thought about moving all the upgrade notes to a common section, but
in some cases the language is clearly explaining changes in the
release that are not duplicated elsewhere, and I think it reads better
having them inline alongisde related changes.
