This is a very old commit for #106, which has been on hiatus for a few
years. It was significantly modified by tabbott to:
* Improve coding style and variable names
* Update mypy annotations style
* Clean up the testing logic
* Update for API changes elsewhere in our system
But the actual runtime code is essentially unmodified from the
original work by Kirill.
It contains basic support for archiving Messages, UserMessages, and
Attachments with a nice test suite. It's still not usable in
production (e.g. it will probably break Reactions, SubMessages, etc.),
but upcoming commits will address that.
This makes it possible for Zulip administrators to delete messages.
This is primarily intended for use in deleting early test messages,
but it can solve other problems as well.
Later we'll want to play with the permissions model for this, but for
now, the goal is just to integrate the feature.
Note that it saves the deleted messages for some time using the same
approach as Zulip's message retention policy feature.
Fixes#135.
This is a first step towards implementing a message retention policy
feature.
- Add Realm model message_retention_days field to setup
messages expired period for realm.
- Add migration.
- Add tool to get expired messages for each Realm.
- Add tests to cover tool for getting expired messages.
