The replacement should be relatively seamless, + 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 + remove a number of old dependencies with `apt-get autoremove`). + + matrix-synapse-py3 will take over responsibility for the existing + configuration files, including the matrix-synapse systemd service. + + Beware, however, that `apt-get purge matrix-synapse` will *disable* the + 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`. + + -- Richard van der Hoff Wed, 19 Dec 2018 14:00:00 +0000 -- cgit 1.5.1
