This causes `upgrade-zulip-from-git`, as well as a no-option run of
`tools/build-release-tarball`, to produce a Zulip install running
Python 3, rather than Python 2. In particular this means that the
virtualenv we create, in which all application code runs, is Python 3.
One shebang line, on `zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces`, explicitly
keeps Python 2, and at least one external ops script, `wal-e`, also
still runs on Python 2. See discussion on the respective previous
commits that made those explicit. There may also be some other
third-party scripts we use, outside of this source tree and running
outside our virtualenv, that still run on Python 2.
We can't fully support it until we fix the tsearch_extras availability
issue, but for now, this is an improvement.
Tweaked by tabbott to cover the outstanding tsearch_extras issue.
I think soon we'll put the Python 3 venv at `/srv/zulip-venv` and
make `/srv/zulip-py3-venv` just an alias to that (then remove the
alias too), but for now the old name is helpful for spotting places
that need an update.
The `/srv/zulip-venv` name still appears in codepaths used by Travis
tests.
Apparently, this was missing on Xenial, and we just never noticed
because the package was installed by default on Ubuntu.
It doesn't exist yet in Trusty.
This commit does the following things:
* Instead of using a manual tool for downloading sprite sheets, use
`emoji-datasource` npm package.
* Modify the `build_emoji` script to use sprite sheets from the npm
package.
Bumps PROVISION_VERSION.
Fixes: #4730.
NPM packages should be installed at the beginning of the provisioning
process so that later in the provisioning process if a script requires
any NPM package it can use it. Earlier, we were installing NPM packages
in the last as the installation process can fail due to network issues
but since we now retry in case the installation fails, they can be
installed safely at the beginning of the process as well just like apt
packages.
This brings the total no-op provision time down to around 7.3s!
Tweaked by tabbott to clean up the code, close file descriptions, and
avoid issues with a somehow corrupted file.
Fixes#5185.
Handlebars allows putting tildes (~) by the braces in mustache tags to
strip whitespaces on that side of the tag.
{{#if foo~}}
<p>Bar</p>
{{~/if}}
This way, the linter ignores any potential tilde at the ends of Handlebars
tags so we can use this feature without lint fails.
This reuses the work we did some time ago to avoid regenerating the
test database unnecessarily.
In addition to being a nice convenience for developers (since any
accomulated test data is still available), this also saves about half
the time consumed in a no-op provision.
Fixes#5182.
Moves creating the emoji folder from the provisioning script to
the build_emoji script.
Fixes the fact that the emoji cache directory wasn't being created
when not using the provision.py script.
