This PR:
* Reduces the amount of noise in the `check-newsfragment` CI output by hiding the dependency installation output by default.
* Prints a link to the changelog/debian changelog section of the contributing guide if an error is found.
This has long been something I've wanted to do. Basically the `Daemonize` code
is both too flexible and not flexible enough, in that it offers a bunch of
features that we don't use (changing UID, closing FDs in the child, logging to
syslog) and doesn't offer a bunch that we could do with (redirecting stdout/err
to a file instead of /dev/null; having the parent not exit until the child is
running).
As a first step, I've lifted the Daemonize code and removed the bits we don't
use. This should be a non-functional change. Fixing everything else will come
later.
We've [decided](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5253#issuecomment-665976308) to remove the signature check for v1 lookups.
The signature check has been removed in v2 lookups. v1 lookups are currently deprecated. As mentioned in the above linked issue, this verification was causing deployments for the vector.im and matrix.org IS deployments, and this change is the simplest solution, without being unjustified.
Implementations are encouraged to use the v2 lookup API as it has [increased privacy benefits](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2134).
`StatsHandler` handles updates to the `current_state_delta_stream`, and updates room stats such as the amount of state events, joined users, etc.
However, it counts every new join membership as a new user entering a room (and that user being in another room), whereas it's possible for a user's membership status to go from join -> join, for instance when they change their per-room profile information.
This PR adds a check for join->join membership transitions, and bails out early, as none of the further checks are necessary at that point.
Due to this bug, membership stats in many rooms have ended up being wildly larger than their true values. I am not sure if we also want to include a migration step which recalculates these statistics (possibly using the `_populate_stats_process_rooms` bg update).
Bug introduced in the initial implementation https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/4338.
Thanks to some slightly overzealous cleanup in the
`delete_old_current_state_events`, it's possible to end up with no
`event_forward_extremities` in a room where we have outstanding local
invites. The user would then get a "no create event in auth events" when trying
to reject the invite.
We can hack around it by using the dangling invite as the prev event.
If there are *no* files with CRLF line endings, then the xargs exits with a
non-zero exit code (as expected), but then, since that is the last thing to
happen in the script, the script as a whole exits non-zero, making the whole
thing fail.
using `if/then/fi` instead of `&& (...)` means that the script exits with a
zero exit code.

IIRC this doesn't break tests because its only hit on reconnection, or something.
Basically, when a process needs to fetch missing updates for the `typing` stream it needs to query the writer instance via HTTP (as we don't write typing notifications to the DB), the problem was that the endpoint (`streams`) was only registered on master and specifically not on the typing writer worker.
