[Pootle 2.7] Tracking ticket to update to Pootle 2.7

[nielx]

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

Roughly, there are the following to dos:

• Write a script that updates the catalogs from the database
• 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

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.

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

Commands to fix the stray *pyc files:

sudo find . -name \*.pyc -delete

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

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

Commands to be run to upgrade the database:

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