Apparently, while upgrade-zulip-from-git always ensures that zulip
deployment directories are owned by the Zulip user, unpack-zulip (aka
the tarball code path) has them owned by root.
The user ID detection logic in su_to_zulip's helper get_zulip_uid was
intended to support both development environments (where the user ID
might vary) and production environments. For development
environments, the existing code is fine, but given this unpack-zulip
permissions issue, we need to have code to fallback to 'zulip' if the
detection logic detects the "zulip" user has having UID 0.
This migrates Zulip to use a dramatically better set of names and
aliases for our emoji set, defined in emoji_names.py (which is in turn
manually generated from our hand-curated CSV file).
This should significantly improve the experience of using Zulip's
emoji picker and emoji typeahead for finding what one is looking for.
Apparently, at least some Debian stretch systems don't have an
/etc/lsb-release, so the optimization that we did in
5d39a0f0fc broke our installer on
Debian.
We fix this, by falling back to calling the lsb_release command on
systems that don't have a faster way to do it.
Fixes part of #9946.
This improves the performance of these operations, by saving a ~50ms
Python process startup. While not a major performance improvement, it
seems worth it, given how often these commands get run.
Fixes#9571.
This commit switches our emoji infrastructure to use 256 color indexed
64px spritesheets. Earlier we were using non-indexed 32px spritesheets
which were blurry on high dpi displays. These indexed spritesheets not
only provide a crispier display but are also smaller in size.
This commit also removes the `emoji-datasource` package as a dependency
as all the data is now sourced from individual datasource packages.
Fixes: #7862.
This didn't work at all when one did a `vagrant destroy` and then
`vagrant up`, because the cache state would be preserved even though
the machine is gone.
Fixes#5981.
We were checking for whether an item in the deployments directory
represents a directory but were using its relative path which was
causing a false value to be returned for all items irrespective of
their being a directory or not if the script was invoked from some
where other than the deployments directory.
This commit re-arranges the arguments of `purge_unused_caches()`
function in order to remain consistent with other similar functions
in the library like `may_be_perform_caching()`.
This function will replace the repetitive definition of `parse_args()`
in various cache cleaning scripts. Also adds a `--verbose` argument
to the parser.
Based on the `dry_run` flag, this function either purges the list
of directories passed to them or prints a listing of the directories
it would have purged/kept_back, had the `dry_run` flag been false.
