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.
Now that we have production support for Ubuntu Focal, we update the
documentation to state our support for it.
(We also drop deprecated Xenial and Stretch from supported platforms).
We're migrating to using the cleaner zulip.com domain, which involves
changing all of our links from ReadTheDocs and other places to point
to the cleaner URL.
Also make sure our documentation for upgrading is reasonable for
Stretch => Buster.
Our reasoning for deprecating support for these releases is as follows:
* Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial reached desktop EOL last year; and will reach
EOL on the server in about a year.
* Debian Stretch will each EOL in 2020 (the precise date is unclear in
Debian's documentation, but based on past precedent it's in the next
few months, perhaps July 2020).
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases#Production_Releases
* Both Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian Stretch use Python 3.5 as the system
Python, which will reach EOL in September 2020 (and we're already
seeing various third-party dependencies that we use drop support for
them).
* While there is LTS support for these older releases, it's not clear it's
going to be worth the added engineering effort for us to maintain EOL
releases of the base OSes that we support.
* We (now) have clear upgrade instructions for moving to Debian Buster
and Ubuntu 18.04.
This also rewrites the text to better explain what's happening. It's
likely further polish would be valuable, but that's true for the whole
"Troubleshooting" page.
This block of text was misplaced when we split the long
maintain-secure-update; article; we want it to be easy to find by
folks who are looking into error emails Zulip is sending.
Merges the "Upgrades" section from production/maintain-secure-upgrade.md
with production/modifying-zulip.md.
Contains significant textual changes by tabbott to read more clearly.
