After some testing, I've confirmed that this seems to behave
significantly better in terms of the number of failed requests due to
Tornado being the process of restarting compared with the previous
version, as each individual process is only down for a short time,
rather than all of them being down at once.
Missing commas in the definition of all the queues to check meant that it would be looking for queues with concatenated names, rather than the correct ones. Added the commas.
Used get_venv_dependencies function to return the correct dependencies
for RHEL, Centos, Fedora rather than importing them as separate
COMMON_YUM_DEPENDENCIES in provision and create-production-venv.
In virtualenv ≥ 20, the site_packages variable was removed from
activate_this.py. To avoid a KeyError, replace
activate_locals['site_packages'] with os.path.join(venv, 'lib',
python_version), where python_version is the 'pythonX.Y' name of the
directory where site-packages resides in the virtualenv.
Fixes#14025.
Added a get_venv_dependencies() function in setup_venv.py which
returns VENV_DEPENDENCIES according to the vendor and os_version.
The reason for adding this function was because python-dev will be
depreciated in Focal but can be used as python2-dev so when adding
support for Focal VENV_DEPENDENCIES should to be os_version dependent.
isort 5 knows not to reorder imports across function calls, so this
will stop isort from breaking our code.

This adds Ubuntu 19.10 as a valid provisioning target.
The release test in setup-apt-repo was changed from a list of values to
a regex check for brevity.
The “Smileys & People” category has been split into “Smilys & Emotion”
and “People & Body”.
Also, fix generate_sha1sum_emoji to read the emoji-datasource-google
version from yarn.lock, since package.json only gives a version range.

"Zulip Voyager" was a name invented during the Hack Week to open
source Zulip for what a single-system Zulip server might be called, as
a Star Trek pun on the code it was based on, "Zulip Enterprise".
At the time, we just needed a name quickly, but it was never a good
name, just a placeholder. This removes that placeholder name from
much of the codebase. A bit more work will be required to transition
the `zulip::voyager` Puppet class, as that has some migration work
involved.
These docstrings hadn't been properly updated in years, and bad an
awkward mix of a bad version of the user-facing documentation and
details that are no longer true (e.g. references to "Voyager").
(One important detail is that we have real documentation for this
system now).
This legacy cross-realm bot hasn't been used in several years, as far
as I know. If we wanted to re-introduce it, I'd want to implement it
as an embedded bot using those common APIs, rather than the totally
custom hacky code used for it that involves unnecessary queue workers
and similar details.
Fixes#13533.
At some point the PostgreSQL Docker image started creating the zulip
database for us, which caused our CREATE DATABASE to fail.

Zulip has had a small use of WebSockets (specifically, for the code
path of sending messages, via the webapp only) since ~2013. We
originally added this use of WebSockets in the hope that the latency
benefits of doing so would allow us to avoid implementing a markdown
local echo; they were not. Further, HTTP/2 may have eliminated the
latency difference we hoped to exploit by using WebSockets in any
case.
While we’d originally imagined using WebSockets for other endpoints,
there was never a good justification for moving more components to the
WebSockets system.
This WebSockets code path had a lot of downsides/complexity,
including:
* The messy hack involving constructing an emulated request object to
hook into doing Django requests.
* The `message_senders` queue processor system, which increases RAM
needs and must be provisioned independently from the rest of the
server).
* A duplicate check_send_receive_time Nagios test specific to
WebSockets.
* The requirement for users to have their firewalls/NATs allow
WebSocket connections, and a setting to disable them for networks
where WebSockets don’t work.
* Dependencies on the SockJS family of libraries, which has at times
been poorly maintained, and periodically throws random JavaScript
exceptions in our production environments without a deep enough
traceback to effectively investigate.
* A total of about 1600 lines of our code related to the feature.
* Increased load on the Tornado system, especially around a Zulip
server restart, and especially for large installations like
zulipchat.com, resulting in extra delay before messages can be sent
again.
As detailed in
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/12862#issuecomment-536152397, it
appears that removing WebSockets moderately increases the time it
takes for the `send_message` API query to return from the server, but
does not significantly change the time between when a message is sent
and when it is received by clients. We don’t understand the reason
for that change (suggesting the possibility of a measurement error),
and even if it is a real change, we consider that potential small
latency regression to be acceptable.
If we later want WebSockets, we’ll likely want to just use Django
Channels.

Our recent fixes to using the system's configured memcached settings
broke populate_db, because its hacky clear_database helper is called
with a hacked-up settings module.
We fix this by first moving this out-of-place code from models.py into
populate_db, and then saving the settings required to access memcached
so that we can use them in clear_database.
We also fix a mypy erorr in flush-memcached that matches the same
issue fixed in clear_database.
