Using postfix to handle the incoming email gateway complicates things
a great deal:
- It cannot verify that incoming email addresses exist in Zulip before
accepting them; it thus accepts mail at the `RCPT TO` stage which it
cannot handle, and thus must reject after the `DATA`.
- It is built to handle both incoming and outgoing email, which
results in subtle errors (1c17583ad5, 79931051bd, a53092687e,
#18600).
- Rate-limiting happens much too late to avoid denial of
service (#12501).
- Mis-configurations of the HTTP endpoint can break incoming
mail (#18105).
Provide a replacement SMTP server which accepts incoming email on port
25, verifies that Zulip can accept the address, and that no
rate-limits are being broken, and then adds it directly to the
relevant queue.
Removes an incorrect comment which implied that missed-message
addresses were only usable once. We leave rate-limiting to only
channel email addresses, since missed-message addresses are unlikely
to be placed into automated systems, as channel email addresses are.
Also simplifies #7814 somewhat.
Python 2 can’t parse this file, so it never gets as far as running the
check.
This isn’t really a problem anymore. The python → python2 symlink is
optional and deprecated in Ubuntu 20.04 and Debian 11; it’s removed in
Ubuntu 22.04 and Debian 12.
(Also the <= was weird.)

The current help text in manage.py does not displays `changepassword`
command under the set of django commands subset. Hence, add back
`changepassword` to the help text.
Fixes#2665.
Regenerated by tabbott with `lint --fix` after a rebase and change in
parameters.
Note from tabbott: In a few cases, this converts technical debt in the
form of unsorted imports into different technical debt in the form of
our largest files having very long, ugly import sequences at the
start. I expect this change will increase pressure for us to split
those files, which isn't a bad thing.

isort 5 knows not to reorder imports across function calls, so this
will stop isort from breaking our code.

This reverts commit ec9f6702d8.
Now that pika 0.13.0 has merged our PR to not import twisted unless it
is needed, we don't need to use this performance hack in order to
avoid wasting time importing twisted and all its dependencies.
If `/etc/zulip/zulip.conf` exists in development, `manage.py` fails
unnecessarily. Instead, check if `deploy_type` is set, as done in
`settings.py`.
Fix#10931.
This is a performance optimization; see the comment. This fixes part
of #9953.
Eventually, we should do the same thing for importing Tornado as well,
but it's less important because Tornado is a much smaller library.
Apparently, if you tried running manage.py as a non-root user that
isn't the main zulip user, you'll get a confusing Django exception
about `SECRET_KEY` not being configured.
This change provides a clean, understandable exception for this case.
Except in:
- docs/writing-bots-guide.md, because bots are supposed to be Python 2
compatible
- puppet/zulip_ops/files/zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces, because this
script is still on python2.7
- tools/lint
- tools/linter_lib
- tools/lister.py
For the latter two, because they might be yanked away to a separate repo
for general use with other FLOSS projects.
This saves us from spending 200-250ms of CPU time importing Django
again just to log that we're running a management command. On
`scripts/restart-server`, this saves us from one thundering herd of
Django startups when all the queue workers are restarted; but there's
still the Django startup for the `manage.py` process itself for each
worker, so on a machine with e.g. 2 (virtual) cores the restart is
still painful.
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.
Django, by default, prints these exceptions as a giant traceback,
which is really ugly and scary to sysadmins. We really just want to
print the error message to stdout for convenient viewing by the user.
The manage.py change effectively switches the Zulip production server
to use the virtualenv, since all of our supervisord commands for the
various Python services go through manage.py.
Additionally, this migrates the production scripts and Nagios plugins
to use the virtualenv as well.
This automatically loads settings, zerver.models.* and
zerver.lib.actions.* when you start `manage.py shell`, which should
save a bit of time basically every time someone uses it.
Fixes#275.
This could potentially help with debugging exactly what happened with
some issue down the line.

This includes a hack to preserve humbug/backends.py as a symlink, so
that we don't need to regenerate all our old sessions.

I first made --traceback the default in my patches to django, but this
broke several regressions tests (when Luke built .deb packages), so he reverted that change,
and I'm putting this default into our manage.py instead
