Checking for whether tests appear is going to be a more stable
long-term check than looking for zilencer, which we might eventually
include in releases.
The Zulip server's settings are only available if process-fts-updates
is running is on the same server as a Zulip production deployment. So
we instead check whether we have pgroonga configured in
/etc/zulip/zulip.conf.
This works fine in my testing -- I followed it on a fresh `trusty` VM,
after just getting SSL certs with our LetsEncrypt instructions, and
the install completed successfully.
And in the source tree, the only evidence I can find of a potential
remaining dependency on the `/root/zulip` path is the Nagios config in
`puppet/zulip_ops/`. That's actually already broken, in that it
depends on `/root/zulip/api/`, so we'll have to sort that out;
and in any case, it doesn't matter to most people installing Zulip.
Add a mention that the install script will move the just-unpacked
directory out from under you. While we're here, add a few words about
where the deployed code is laid out.
Text of those last words tweaked by tabbott.
We may not necessarily be running out of /root/zulip or any particular path,
but the point this comment was really trying to make in the first place stands.
Make it more clearly and still-accurately.
Our previous dependencies on the `/root/zulip` path should all be
long gone at this point. Run our production-install test suite through
a fresh temporary path instead, mainly just to avoid causing any confusion
over whether that's quite the case.
On `trusty` there is no package for `boto` or `gevent` on Python 3, both
of which are dependencies of `wal-e` (at the version we've pinned.) This
is something used only on database servers and only in a replication
scenario, and it doesn't involve any of our code outside the wal-e repo,
so the Python version it uses is quite independent of the Zulip
application server itself and the rest of our code. For now, keep it
explicitly on Python 2 while we move forward for most everything else.
This script in `zulip_ops` is handy for managing EC2 instances. It uses
`boto`, which isn't available in `trusty` for Python 3. The use of
`boto` here isn't particularly deep, so we could replace it with some
more manual HTTP calls if it comes to that. For now, just mark it to
stay on Python 2 while we move the app and all the rest of the ops code
(except this and another straggler or two) to Python 3.
Also make a comment on this package in the Puppet manifest clearer
about what it specifically refers to.
We're about to do this (a) in a number of places mentioning
system packages like `python3-dev` to install, and (b) in the
shebangs of every script in the tree.
This consists of the `zulip_ops::stats` Puppet class, which has apparently
not been used since 2014, and a number of files that I believe were
only used for that. Also a couple of tiny loose ends in other files.
This is only actually used in our `wal-e` setup, which is in
zulip_ops::postgres_common. (In fact the only mentions of `gevent` in
our whole Git history are for `wal-e`.) So remove where we mention it
on the broader zulip::postgres_common module, and move it where it's
needed.
This follows up on 98cef0ab4 by eliminating the only dependency
outside of the `zulip_ops` Puppet tree on a system Python-library
package which isn't available in `trusty` for Python 3.
This follows up on 207cf6302 from last year to clean up cases that
have apparently popped up since then. Invoking the scripts directly
makes a cleaner command line in any case, and moreover is essential
to how we control running a Zulip install as either Python 2 or 3
(soon, how we always ensure it runs as Python 3.)
One exception: we're currently forcing `provision` in dev to run
Python 3, while still running both Python 2 and Python 3 jobs in CI.
We use a non-shebang invocation to do the forcing of Python 3.
The one difference between `sourcemap` 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 is this fix:
https://github.com/mattrobenolt/python-sourcemap/pull/9
This addresses an issue that caused the Zulip server running on
Python 3 to raise exceptions when attempting to process a JS error.
Since we're auto-detecting the value anyway, there's no reason it
can't be moved to DEFAULT_SETTINGS.
This lets us remove some clutter from the installation documentation.
This adds the authors to the Zulip repository on GitHub from
/authors/ along with re-styling the page to fit the same
aesthetic as /for/open-source/ and other product-pages.
In the case of no subdomains, the input is too large because the JS
calculated size does not account for padding. The correct solution is
to do this in JS.
