andersk reports that we are "incorrectly sending outgoing zephyrs with z_charset
= ZCHARSET_ISO_8859_1, which breaks zwgc (other clients tend to ignore
z_charset). I'm assuming you're shelling out to zwrite; you need to use zwrite
-x UTF-8, or export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8."

This may require just doing an mv on the home directory, plus changing
the home directory in /etc/passwd. It should of course be done carefully.

We were having problems where we were suspiciously processing notices
at a rate of 1 notice per 15s, which suggests that we the select was
timing out even though there were notices to be fetched immediately.
We fix this by clearing the queue each time our select loop ends.

This should enabled us, in the future, to enable support for mail
zephyrs without requiring users to re-auth.

The davidben-patched-for-roost Zephyr branch (available at
https://github.com/davidben/zephyr/tree/roost) adds Zephyr support for
these options. We also patch python-zephyr to expose them. These
basically let you save your Zephyr tickets and port number to a file,
so that you can later restore them (even potentially after the machine
rebooted). Basically because Zephyr is UDP, the Zephyr server will
continue trying to deliver messages to a particular port number that
was registered for up to 20 minutes after getting an error; so we can
even have downtime and reboot and still get our packets so long as we
restore the sessions within 20 minutes.

Our .crypt-table parsing code isn't quite correct, in that we don't
handle either the "zcrypt default" or "zcrypt by class/instance" pair
options (for sending messages in either direction) -- you have to be
zcrypting for an entire class. I think this makes sense given that on
the Zulip end we can only enforce anything on a stream level.

For now we only support the AES encryption type since the DES one is
probably not used anymore.

This must be deployed after we update our running nginx configuration
to serve api.humbughq.com.

Since in the future we might want requests to add subscriptions to
include things like colors, in_home_view, etc., we're changing the
data format for the add_subscriptions API call to pass each stream as
a dictionary, giving a convenient place to put any added options.
The manual step required here is updating the API version in AFS
available for use with the zephyr_mirror.py system.

At Ksplice we used /usr/bin/python because we shipped dependencies as Debian /
Red Hat packages, which would be installed against the system Python. We were
also very careful to use only Python 2.3 features so that even old system
Python would still work.
None of that is true at Humbug. We expect users to install dependencies
themselves, so it's more likely that the Python in $PATH is correct. On OS X
in particular, it's common to have five broken Python installs and there's no
expectation that /usr/bin/python is the right one.
The files which aren't marked executable are not interesting to run as scripts,
so we just remove the line there. (In general it's common to have libraries
that can also be executed, to run test cases or whatever, but that's not the
case here.)

This adds two characters to the length of our default format field, but
based on a conversation I had with kcr, I think this should probably be
okay. If it's a problem, the symptom we'll see is that certain people
will be unable to send zephyrs with this default format (so, certain
Humbug users will have their forwarding consistently fail).
We need to remember to, in a future commit (once everyone has started
using the updated version), remove the:
> or notice.format.endswith("@(@color(blue))")
