This ticket is to track the steps to update to Pootle 2.7.

Roughly, there are the following to dos:

  • Check which configurations will need to change from 2.5 to 2.6 to 2.7 (see comment:4)
  • Test the intermediate upgrade to 2.6
  • Test the final upgrade to 2.7

Description: modified (diff)

Settings we configure:

  • 10-base.conf
    • TIME_ZONE
    • SECRET_KEY
    • ALLOWED_HOSTS
  • 20-backends.conf
    • DATABASES
    • CACHES
  • 30-site.conf
    • ADMINS
    • CAN_REGISTER
    • DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL
    • CONTACT_EMAIL
    • CAN_CONTACT
  • 40-apps.conf
    • POOTLE_ENABLE_API
  • 60-translation.conf
    • PODIRECTORY
    • MARKUP_FILTER
    • MT_BACKENDS
    • LOOKUP_BACKENDS
    • CONTRIBUTORS_EXCLUDED_NAMES
    • CONTRIBUTORS_EXCLUDED_PROJECT_NAMES

These settings are not in the deprecated settings list of the Pootle documentation, and they are still available in their original configuration files.

On further investigation, there are several renamed configurations:

  • CAN_REGISTER -> POOTLE_SIGNUP_ENABLED
  • CONTACT_EMAIL -> POOTLE_CONTACT_EMAIL
  • CAN_CONTACT -> POOTLE_CONTACT_ENABLED
  • MARKUP_FILTER -> POOTLE_MARKUP_FILTER
  • MT_BACKENDS -> POOTLE_MT_BACKENDS
  • PODIRECTORY -> POOTLE_TRANSLATION_DIRECTORY

The following has become unavailable:

  • POOTLE_ENABLE_API
  • CONTRIBUTORS_EXCLUDED_NAMES
  • CONTRIBUTORS_EXCLUDED_PROJECT_NAMES

New required software

Redis is now required.

I set it up with the default configuration.

Note to self

Pootle 2.5.1.3 depends on Django 1.4, which only works with django-assets 0.8

On the initial upgrade to 2.6.2 I run into this problem: https://github.com/translate/pootle/issues/4068

Problematic migrations:

  • pootle/apps/pootle_app/migrations/0008_drop_votes_table.py
  • pootle/apps/pootle_tagging/migrations/0002_autodel_goaldel_itemwithgoal.py
  • pootle/apps/pootle_tagging/migrations/0003_del_tagdel_taggeditem.py

To prevent the bugs from happening, perform the following in python manage.py shell, before upgrading the source to Pootle 2.6.2

from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
ct = ContentType.objects.filter(app_label="voting").get()
ct.delete()
ct = ContentType.objects.filter(app_label="pootle_tagging")
for c in ct:
    c.delete()
ct = ContentType.objects.filter(app_label="taggit")
for c in ct:
    c.delete()

Notes on 2.7

  • After the upgrade to 2.7.6 there is a problem with stray *.pyc files
  • The database connector needs to be changed to transaction_hooks.backends.postgresql_psycopg2
  • The rqworker needs to be started

sudo find . -name \*.pyc -delete

The settings files that need to be changed/updated are:

  • 90-local.conf
  • 91-local-secrets-*.conf

python manage.py migrate accounts 0002 --fake
python manage.py migrate pootle_translationproject 0002 --fake
