Aman Agrawal cf8653945f lint: Rename commit_messages to gitlint.
Use `gitlint` name to register gitlint linter since it is the commonly
used name for it.

Greg Price b6ce366d61 docs: Add a comment explaining the fancy conditional-include syntax.
We only use it in this one place, so a comment right here seems the
most discoverable place to put it.  If we started using it more...
probably the section in docs/documentation/overview.md about the
dev/sysadmin docs system should split off into a new file, and this
info would become a subsection there.

Vishnu Ks cc91e6cb94 auth: Allow setting GOOGLE_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID from dev-secrets.
This makes it much more convenient to use Google/GitHub authentication
in a Zulip development environment for testing; one only has to set it
up once.

Vishnu Ks 16a345a766 auth: Document setting social_auth_github_key in dev-secrets.
This is a simpler configuration method for development, because
dev_settings.py isn't something the developer can edit.

This provides a better entrypoint for developers to learn about

introduction, including a link to the very nice EdX guide on the
topic.

Puneeth Chaganti 717d1e504d ldap: Turn off the AUTH_LDAP_ALWAYS_UPDATE_USER setting.
The `AUTH_LDAP_ALWAYS_UPDATE_USER` is `True` by default, and this would sync the
attributes defined in the `AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP` to the user profile. But,
the default code in `django-auth-ldap` would work correctly only for `full_name`
field. This commit disables the setting by default, in favour of using the
`sync_ldap_user_data` script as a cron job.

Tim Abbott 8a04284c62 docs: Rewrite translation guide to be much more user-facing.
This guide was originally written as part of the process of adding
i18n support to Zulip, so it had way too much focus on development
tooling details not relevant to translators.

There's probably a separate follow-up project we should do to move the
developers-only content to a separate article, since it's kinda lost
here for that audience.

Thanks to David Wood for asking a question that inspired me to do
this.

2019-05-20 11:35:47 -07:00
Steve Howell 6b39d6004e zjquery: Use Proxy to detect undefined stubs.
We now use a Proxy to wrap zjquery elements, so
that we can detect callers trying to invoke methods
(or access attributes) that do not exist.  We try
to give useful error messages in those cases.

The main impact here is that we force lots of tests
to explicitly stub `length`.

Also, we can't do equality checks on zjquery
objects any more due to the proxy object, but the
easy workaround is to compare selectors.  (This
is generally an unnecessary technique, anyway.)

The proxy wrapper is fairly straightforward, and
we just have a few special cases for things like
"inspect" that happen when you try to print out
objects.

Rishi Gupta 529d424bed docs: Add numbering to import section of export-and-import.md.
The numbers are in parens to avoid the markdown processor interpreting them

David Wood f53a8f8bb6 settings: Rename `create_stream_permission` in templates.
This commit renames the `create_stream_permission` field in the
templates to `create_stream_policy`, matching the field used in the
database model. This matches what `invite_to_stream_policy` does and
will be clearer when the `waiting_period_threshold` is split into its
own field.

Kouhei Sutou a046a0957b docs: Fix upgrade process for Ubuntu 16.04 -> 18.04.
We need to disable "CREATE EXTENSION pgroonga" in zulip-puppet-apply
by creating /usr/share/postgresql/10/pgroonga_setup.sql.applied.
Because PostgreSQL 10 isn't running in this case. If PostgreSQL 10
isn't running, we can't run "CREATE EXTENSION pgroonga".

We can't use pg_upgrade with PGroonga. PGroonga's install SQL
https://github.com/pgroonga/pgroonga/blob/master/data/pgroonga.sql has
conditions to support multiple PostgreSQL versions. So it's not safe
to use pg_upgrade. pg_upgrade copies metadata for PostgreSQL 9.5 to
PostgreSQL 10. We need to use pg_dump and pg_restore to upgrade
PGroonga correctly for PostgreSQL 10.

Tim Abbott 18146ed947 script: Add static asset pipeline option to support OS upgrades.
The comment explains this in more detail, but basically one previously

last installed/upgraded from Git, and not that option otherwise, which
would have forced us to make the OS upgrade documentation much more
complicated than it needed to be.

Samuel Searles-Bryant c87893feea docs: Update .html links to .md.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as

But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.

This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.

Tim Abbott fac875a922 docs: Eliminate most development manual install docs.
This documentation had a tendency to bitrot, and in any case now that
we have tooling for doing Fedora (etc.) from provision, it's likely
the case that adding other Linux/UNIX distros we care about to
provision would not be difficult and is a better path than maintaining
this manually-curated duplicate of `tools/provision`.

Further, even if this documentation was maintained, one would still
end up wanting to run `provision` after rebasing a branch, so it was
never particularly practical for extended development.
