Tweaked provision script to run successfully in Fedora 38 and
included a script to build the groonga libs from source because
the packages in Fedora repos are outdated.
There is a major version jump from the last supported version (F34)
which is EOL so references and support for older versions were
removed.
Fixes: #20635
This should help miscueing users into thinking that the provisioning
steps, etc. are a part of the python3 installation--which is now more
explicitly aimed at Centos, Fedora, and RHEL users.
Ever since we started bundling the app with webpack, there’s been less
and less overlap between our ‘static’ directory (files belonging to
the frontend app) and Django’s interpretation of the ‘static’
directory (files served directly to the web).
Split the app out to its own ‘web’ directory outside of ‘static’, and
remove all the custom collectstatic --ignore rules. This makes it
much clearer what’s actually being served to the web, and what’s being
bundled by webpack. It also shrinks the release tarball by 3%.

Renames the filename so that it accurately reflects its contents
given the changes to the "Recommended setup" page in the previous
commit, and updates all links accordingly.
Windows users end up having to follow an odd chain of links because
the recommended installation instructions live on a different
page than the rest of the instructions about the environment setup.
All the tutorials about recommended install prerequisites for each
platform should be on the same page.
This moves the section about using WSL 2 from the advanced setup page
to the recommended environment setup tutorial page.
Renames sidebar and section titles to more accurately reflect the
information in the Recommended setup vs. the Advanced setup page.
Updates relevant text and links accordingly.
Fixes: #13696.
As a consequence:
• Bump minimum supported Python version to 3.8.
• Move Vagrant environment to Ubuntu 20.04, which has Python 3.8.
• Move CI frontend tests to Ubuntu 20.04.
• Move production build test to Ubuntu 20.04.
• Move 3.4 upgrade test to Ubuntu 20.04.

Ubuntu 22.04 pushed a post-feature-freeze update to Python 3.10,
breaking virtual environments in a Debian patch
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.10/+bug/1962791).
Also, our antique version of Tornado doesn’t work in 3.10, and we’ll
need to do some work to upgrade that.

This uses the myst_heading_anchors option to automatically generate
header anchors and make Sphinx aware of them. See
https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax/optional.html#auto-generated-header-anchors.
Note: to be compatible with GitHub, MyST-Parser uses a slightly
different convention for .md fragment links than .html fragment links
when punctuation is involved. This does not affect the generated
fragment links in the HTML output.
Fixes#13264.

We previously had a convention of redundantly including the directory
in relative links to reduce mistakes when moving content from one file
to another. However, these days we have a broken link checker in
test-documentation, and after #21237, MyST-Parser will check relative
links (including fragments) when you run build-docs.

One should never have to manually symlink things in /usr/bin,
especially with -f. That should be managed by the system package
manager. Indeed, on CentOS 7 and 8, one can simply install the
python3 package and get a working /usr/bin/python3.

The certbot package installs its own systemd timer (and cron job,
which disabled itself if systemd is enabled) which updates
certificates. This process races with the cron job which Zulip
installs -- the only difference being that Zulip respects the
`certbot.auto_renew` setting, and that it passes the deploy hook.
This means that occasionally nginx would not be reloaded, when the
systemd timer caught the expiration first.
Remove the custom cron job and `certbot-maybe-renew` script, and
reconfigure certbot to always reload nginx after deploying, using
certbot directory hooks.
Since `certbot.auto_renew` can't have an effect, remove the setting.
In turn, this removes the need for `--no-zulip-conf` to
`setup-certbot`. `--deploy-hook` is similarly removed, as running
deploy hooks to restart nginx is now the default; pass
`--no-directory-hooks` in standalone mode to not attempt to reload
nginx. The other property of `--deploy-hook`, of skipping symlinking
into place, is given its own flog.
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.
Previously, our docs had links to various versions of the Django docs,
eg https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/migrations/ and
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/signals/#post-save, opening
a link to a doc with an outdated Django version would show a warning
"This document is for an insecure version of Django that is no longer
supported. Please upgrade to a newer release!".
This commit uses a search with the regex
"docs.djangoproject.com/en/([0-9].[0-9]*)/" and replaces all matches
inside the /docs/ folder with "docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/".
All the new links in this commit have been generated by the above
replace and each link has then been manually checked to ensure that
(1) the page still exists and has not been moved to a new location
(and it has been found that no page has been moved like this), (2)
that the anchor that we're linking to has not been changed (and it has
been found that this happened once, for https://docs.djangoproject.com
/en/1.8/ref/django-admin/#runserver-port-or-address-port, where
/#runserver-port-or-address-port was changed to /#runserver).
In commit f6c78a35a4 we accidentally
deleted these link definitions, probably thinking that the end of the
markdown file would be the same as the end of the rendered doc. This
broke the links `[cloning your fork of the Zulip
repository][zulip-rtd-git-cloning]` and `[connecting the Zulip
upstream repository][zulip-rtd-git-connect]`.
This commit fixes things by adding back the definitions.
This commit includes the following changes.
- Adds the definition of the WSL acronym.
- Adds information for changing BIOS settings
in order to enable machine virtulization.
- Fixes a broken link to Microsoft WSL installation instructions.
- Adds a reminder to create a new SSH key before connecting to
GitHub.
- Removes the step to install Ubuntu. This step is now
included in the standard installation.
- Reminds the user to launch Ubuntu as and administrator.
- Switches the text editor in the example to nano from vim.
Nano is included with the wsl installation, and is easier for
most people to use than vim.
- Adds a separate step to fork the Zulip/Zulip repository.
- Adds the bash command to open VS Code and
reminds the user to install the relevant extensions.
With various formatting tweaks by tabbott.
Due to the fact that it's not possible to run the development
environment on a t2.micro (1 GiB RAM + 1 vCPU), which is what is
available from the free tier, the fact that signing up require a
credit/debit card and can take up to 24 hours, and that it is quite
easy to unintentionally exceed the free tier resources when expanding
or upgrading, it is no longer feasible to develop on cloud9. As such,
we should not recommend it in out setup docs.
The previous link "/wsl/wsl2-install" leads to a 404 page which
recommends "/wsl/install". This commit updates the link to
"/wsl/install".
The previous link has been giving a redirect since at least May 23,
2020.
Recommonmark is no longer maintained, and MyST-Parser is much more
complete.
