matrix-synapse-py3 (0.34.0) stable; urgency=medium
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
matrix-synapse-py3 is intended as a drop-in replacement for the existing
|
2018-12-21 00:27:29 +01:00
|
|
|
matrix-synapse package. When the package is installed, matrix-synapse will be
|
|
|
|
|
automatically uninstalled. The replacement should be relatively seamless,
|
2018-12-20 12:33:29 +01:00
|
|
|
however, please note the following important differences to matrix-synapse:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Most importantly, the matrix-synapse service now runs under Python 3 rather
|
|
|
|
|
than Python 2.7.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Synapse is installed into its own virtualenv (in /opt/venvs/matrix-synapse)
|
|
|
|
|
instead of using the system python libraries. (This may mean that you can
|
2018-12-20 23:05:27 +01:00
|
|
|
remove a number of old dependencies with `apt autoremove`).
|
2018-12-20 12:33:29 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2018-12-21 00:27:29 +01:00
|
|
|
* If you have previously manually installed any custom python extensions
|
|
|
|
|
(such as matrix-synapse-rest-auth) into the system python directories, you
|
|
|
|
|
will need to reinstall them in the new virtualenv. Please consult the
|
|
|
|
|
documentation of the relevant extensions for further details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-12-20 12:33:29 +01:00
|
|
|
matrix-synapse-py3 will take over responsibility for the existing
|
|
|
|
|
configuration files, including the matrix-synapse systemd service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-12-20 23:05:27 +01:00
|
|
|
Beware, however, that `apt purge matrix-synapse` will *disable* the
|
2018-12-20 12:33:29 +01:00
|
|
|
matrix-synapse service (so that it will not be started on reboot), even
|
|
|
|
|
though that service is no longer being provided by the matrix-synapse
|
|
|
|
|
package. It can be re-enabled with `systemctl enable matrix-synapse`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-12-20 15:55:41 +01:00
|
|
|
The matrix.org team will continue to provide Python 2 `matrix-synapse`
|
|
|
|
|
packages for the next couple of releases, to allow time for system
|
|
|
|
|
administrators to test the new packages.
