The problem here is that we have cut-and-pasted an impl from Twisted, and then
failed to maintain it. It was fixed in Twisted in
https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/1047/files; let's do the same here.
In the debian package, make the virtualenv symlink python to /usr/bin/python3.X
rather than /usr/bin/python3. Also make sure we depend on the right python3.x
package.
This might help a bit with subtle failures when people install a package from
the wrong distro (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4431).
* Fix race when persisting create event
When persisting a chunk of DAG it is sometimes requried to do a state
resolution, which requires knowledge of the room version. If this
happens while we're persisting the create event then we need to use that
event rather than attempting to look it up in the database.
* Remove redundant WrappedConnection
The matrix federation client uses an HTTP connection pool, which times out its
idle HTTP connections, so there is no need for any of this business.
* Correctly retry and back off if we get a HTTPerror response
* Refactor request sending to have better excpetions
MatrixFederationHttpClient blindly reraised exceptions to the caller
without differentiating "expected" failures (e.g. connection timeouts
etc) versus more severe problems (e.g. programming errors).
This commit adds a RequestSendFailed exception that is raised when
"expected" failures happen, allowing the TransactionQueue to log them as
warnings while allowing us to log other exceptions as actual exceptions.
* Fix command hint to generate a config file
When trying to start Synapse without a config file, it will complain
and give a hint towards what command to run. This hinted command
is missing the "report_stats" parameter, which is required with either
yes or no value. Add this to the command.
Not an ideal situation but makes the given command work without the
user getting another error, even though it might be unclear what
"report_stats" represents.
