The comment explains this in more detail, but basically one previously
needed the `--from-git` option to `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` if one had
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.
activate_this.py has always documented that it should be exec()ed with
locals = globals, and in virtualenv 16.0.0 it raises a NameError
otherwise.
As a simplified demonstration of the weird things that can go wrong
when locals ≠ globals:
>>> exec('a = 1; print([a])', {}, {})
[1]
>>> exec('a = 1; print([a for b in [1]])', {}, {})
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "<string>", line 1, in <listcomp>
NameError: name 'a' is not defined
>>> exec('a = 1; print([a for b in [1]])', {})
[1]
Top-level assignments go into locals, but from inside a new scope like
a list comprehension, they’re read out of globals, which doesn’t work.

In addition to upgrading dependencies being generally useful, this may
fix situations where yarn fails but returns a success status code in the
presence of an HTTP proxy.
Now that we have the run_as_root helper function, we don't need to
install sudo to run Zulip in production
This reverts commit a7d7d181ea.
Fixes#10036.
Few folks will be upgrading from versions of Zulip old enough to not
have virtualenv-clone, and those who are won't be able to use it due
to older dependencies having been removed.
Apparently, while upgrade-zulip-from-git always ensures that zulip
deployment directories are owned by the Zulip user, unpack-zulip (aka
the tarball code path) has them owned by root.
The user ID detection logic in su_to_zulip's helper get_zulip_uid was
intended to support both development environments (where the user ID
might vary) and production environments. For development
environments, the existing code is fine, but given this unpack-zulip
permissions issue, we need to have code to fallback to 'zulip' if the
detection logic detects the "zulip" user has having UID 0.
Apparently, virtualenv-clone ends up copying the success-stamp file
that we use to track whether a virtualenv was successfully
provisioned, which results in problems if we get a network error in
the pip install stage afterwards.
The comment explains our fix, but basically we just delete
success-stamp after the clone.
Fixes#11301.
On usage errors (except --help), write usage message to stderr and
exit with nonzero status.
Forbid setting the hostname and email to the example values. Those
are specifically checked for and would fail later.

Instead, manually activate it in the one place where this
functionality was used (tools/lib/provision.py). This way we avoid
trying to activate the Python 2 thumbor virtualenv from Python 3.

Nowm unless you specify `--fill-cache`, memcached caches will not be
pre-filled after a server restart. This will be helpful when someone
is in a hurry (e.g. if the server is down right now, or if he/she
testing a configuration change in a newly setup server), it's best to
just restart without pre-filling the cache.
Fixes: #10900.
The site_packages variable points to (e.g.)
zulip-py3-venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages. If that doesn’t exist,
we’re probably running the wrong Python version.

We still create a Python 2 virtualenv for thumbor but that’s
separate (/srv/zulip-thumbor-venv from
scripts/lib/create-thumbor-venv).

Otherwise this causes an error
```
AttributeError: type object 'Callable' has no attribute '_abc_registry'
```
on 3.7. While the error is specific to 3.7, it is safer to uninstall
typing for all the versions that don't require a pip-provided typing
library.
/bin/sh and /usr/bin/env are the only two binaries that NixOS provides
at a fixed path (outside a buildFHSUserEnv sandbox).
