This commit re-arranges the arguments of `purge_unused_caches()`
function in order to remain consistent with other similar functions
in the library like `may_be_perform_caching()`.
This function will replace the repetitive definition of `parse_args()`
in various cache cleaning scripts. Also adds a `--verbose` argument
to the parser.
Historically, one has needed to build a release tarball in order to
use/test the Zulip installer, but you could upgrade a Zulip server
from Git. However, the only reason for that requirement was that we
didn't run `tools/update-prod-static` as part of the install script if
it's required. A good test for that case is whether we're in a Git
repository, but a better one is to check whether the prod-static
content exists in the tarball paths.
Fixes#3704.
This enforces our use of a consistent style in how we access Python
modules; "from os.path import dirname" is a particularly popular
abbreviation inconsistent with our style, and so it deserves a lint
rule.
Commit message and error text tweaked by tabbott.
Fixes#6543.
Based on the `dry_run` flag, this function either purges the list
of directories passed to them or prints a listing of the directories
it would have purged/kept_back, had the `dry_run` flag been false.
Apparently, the refactoring to make this script only run when changes
are present was buggy, in that if `apt-get update` failed, running
provision against wouldn't rerun `apt-get update`, resulting in a
broken state that requires expertise to fix. This closes that gap, by
using a stamp file to ensure we always successfully update apt before
proceeding.
It doesn't fix existing installations.
Modify `generate_sha1sum_node_modules()` such that it can calculate
the hash for a particular installation.
Tweaked by tabbott to use os.path.realpath in the setup_dir
calculation, to ensure it's consistent.
This should make it much more likely that users see this before
waiting a long time for other things to happen, since the `apt-get
dist-upgrade` step is really slow. We can't move further to the top,
since this requires `lsb_release` to be installed.
Given the path of directory containing all the caches, a list of
caches in use and threshold days, this function returns a list
of caches which can be removed safely.
This function returns a list of all the deployments directories
which are newer than some threshold number of days including the
`/root/zulip` directory if it exists.
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.
We now call the create_large_migrations management command as part of
upgrade-zulip-stage-2 if needed, so that we can create large indexes
while the app is still up.
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.
Also make our dependency on `six` (for e.g. `replace-tarball-shebang`)
explicit -- we've been getting it via `python-pip`, but `python3-pip`
(on trusty) doesn't have that dependency for some reason.
Since we can use both perfer_offline=True and False in a since build
prefer_offline shouldn't be used as a cache key or it will confuse the
cleanup script. Since yarn install (if successful) should be idempotent.
This will probably be ok.
If we do wind up with a symlink lying around at `local_settings.py`,
it won't do us any harm and shouldn't be materially more confusing
than the regular file we've long had there for almost all installs.
It'll also only last as long as the current deploy. So just
let it be, and simplify the code a bit.
Also add a line to help the reader understand the remaining half of
this logic (which is essential so long as people might have pre-1.4.0
deploys lying around that they eventually get around to trying to
upgrade). The fact that it's addressed to a situation which exists
only in the past of this tree, not in its present, makes a brief
comment potentially very helpful.
