Otherwise this causes an error
```
AttributeError: type object 'Callable' has no attribute '_abc_registry'
```
on 3.7. While the error is specific to 3.7, it is safer to uninstall
typing for all the versions that don't require a pip-provided typing
library.
Older versions of virtual box were giving installation error in new
MacOS Mojave. While originally we considered changing the docs to
point to the current version 5.2.20, it seems better to just not pin a
version.
Significantly tweaked by tabbott.
On OSX, the user id and group id don't match. So while the previous
code was always wrong, it produced incorrect output there. We can fix
this by replacing `whoami` with `id -g` for finding the current user's
group ID.
Tweaked by tabbott to move most of the content into the remote
development documentation, both for brevity in the main docs as well
as clarity.
Fixes#10694.
It appears Luke's Dropbox folder/shared link that used to host some
tsearch_extras binaries was removed. It wasn't very high-value
regardless, because most of the platforms involved are deprecated, the
ones that don't generally have a PPA, and building from source is
pretty easy. So, we just remove these options from the documentation.
While we're at it, make clear we only support direct installation on
Ubuntu LTS.
Fixes#9863.
This didn't really make much sense - it presented a quickstart summary
of the instructions as an item in the list of differences from the
Ubuntu case, plus that quickstart only incorporated one of the two
actual differences so it didn't work anyway. Given the networking
stuff, an actual quickstart isn't in the cards, so just cut that.
Also fix some small things while we're here.
Update version of Vagrant from 1.8.6 to 2.0.2.
Update version of VirtualBox from 5.1.8 to 5.2.6.
We needed to update Vagrant because older versions have networking
problems on modern Macs, resulting in weird `apt` errors when
provisioning.
Commit message and some text tweaked by tabbott.
This is what the Sphinx docs recommend when you actually don't want
the page to be included in navigation:
http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/toctree.html
And now that we have `eval_rst`, we're able to take advantage of it!
One difference between doing this and the old way of making "hidden"
toctree entries is that with the latter, the "previous" and "next"
links at the bottom of each page would thread through the hidden
entries; which gets kind of confusing when they don't appear in the nav.
Previous versions of these links were removed earlier today because
Docker upstream had broken them.
To see what the links had been intended to point to, I used the
Wayback Machine (web.archive.org/web), the super-handy project of the
Internet Archive. These are the current equivalents.
Sphinx was displaying "WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree"
for files we just don't want in the TOC. We can hide them from the index,
but the rtd theme defaults to display hidden index entries in the nav bar.
This commit excludes these files from such warnings, and patches layout.html
so that hidden index entries stay hidden from the navigation sidebar.
This commit also moves password-strength.md under docs/production and
adds it as a hidden entry in production/index.rst.
Fixes#7417.
