[debian] Rework split of cubicweb-ctl package It does not appear simple to have the .install files work. So just copy cubicweb-ctl script in DESDIR of cubicweb-ctl binary package and remove .install files. Related to #16133259.

[skeleton] Rephrase long description of Debian package into something meaningful [ci skip]

[skeleton] Depends on python-cubicweb in debian packaging [ci skip]

[debian] Have a single python-cubicweb binary for the library But keep distinct meta-packages for dependencies of the HTTP server (Twisted/Pyramid) and database backend. Related to #16133259.

[debian] Update debian packaging (closes #16133259) - use dh_python, pybuild and debhelper>=9, - refactor and simplify the debian/rules, - rename binary packages (but cubicweb-ctl) to python-xxx - remove daemon handling stuff (initscripts...) from cubicweb-ctl (one should now use a standard WSGI delivery method),

[pkg] Version 3.24.1

[tox] Use `python -m check_manifest` instead of check-manifest program To make sure we use Python from tox's virtualenv.

add debian buildpackage-generated files to hgignore

[test] Fix language negotiation test At least when executed alone (there seems to be a test isolation problem which I could not figure out).

[pyramid] No more need for an internal connection when user is cached

[web] req.lang should be None or a non-empty string

[web] Simplify a bit language handling Drop `set_default_language` and `set_user_language` by considering that: * before being bound to the user, request will have the site's default language * cnx has the user's preferred language, hence get it back to the request when it's bound to a connection The first point requires some change to cubicweb's vreg faking so it doesn't break. That should be enough.

Fix AttributeError for "lang" on repo/client connections This is a regression introduced by b48020a80dc3, which removed call to set_language from the `req._set_user` method. This is fine, but we still want a language on connections, so we've to handle it if necesary in Connection.__enter__ (i.e. once connection is properly open). When using pyramid front-end, which has a users cache, we've to cache its language as well because we must not access its preferred_language method since it's not bound to a proper connection.

Alias ugettext to gettext method of cwGNUTranslations in Python 3 The former does not exist in Python 3, but we rely on it. This fixes test_login_bad_password in cubicweb/pyramid/test/test_login.py which has never passed since being introduced in 6392f34fcdad.

[devctl] make i18n custom message extractors work with legacy layouts distname needs to be "cubicweb_<cubename>", even with legacy layouts for pkg.load_entry_point() to work closes #16272177

Fix (new) flake8 errors They showed up on upgrade of flake8/pep8.

[pyramid] Try "eid" first when retrieving a subresource of ETypeResource So that Pyramid traversal works as existing CubicWeb URL publishing.

Fix AttributeError on postcommit when db-create adds non-system CWSource entities In this case, `Repository.add_source` is called from an operation, not from `Repository.init_sources_from_database`, thus the attribute `sources_by_eid` does not exist. Closes #16251078.

[devctl] Optimize cleanup_sys_modules a bit by moving out of a loop a costly computation that is constant. This at least benefits the `i18ncube` command. Related to #15789486.

[pyramid] Install file listing monitored files in application home Instead of using a temporary file, that never gets deleted. Closes #16159807.

[pyramid] Fix login error message language Use http negotiation unless language is explicitly set for the site. Closes #16236485.

i18n update Pyramid-related messages were not translated. Closes #16236243.

[pyramid] Add action verb used in some messages displayed by the command For instance we'll see 'instance started' instead of 'instance None', which is nicer.

[pyramid] No more need to check CW version since it's now shipped with it

[pyramid] Fix 404 handling Avoid seeing a traceback in the UI by catching it before it reaches pyramid and restore usage of the '404' view. Closes #16159863

Fix broken flake8 configuration and flake8 errors which were hidden by this breakage. flake8 --filename options doesn't work as expected: * it's expected to be a shell pattern, using stdlib's fnmatch.fnmatch function internally. This funciton thinks that 'cubicweb/x.py' doesn't match 'cubicweb/x.py' (there must be a reason but that's not the point), hence no file was actually checked ; * as this is a list of pattern, each encountered file is checked against each pattern, leading to run time explosion. So maintain list of files to check in a separated file and give this list to flake8 using unix's xarg command.

[entities] Fix typo in wfobjs debug message

[doc] Add my 3.24 release notes

[migration] Drop cw_schema relation first without this, we ends up with the traceback shown at https://www.cubicweb.org/ticket/16130960. This is not the proper fix, which I have not been able to find. It seems due to this very rare case of deletion of such relation linked to CWRType vs order of execution of operation (in this case, the operation deleting the entity table is run before some other queries using it). As forcing this relation to be deleted before the entity type fixes the problem while this case seems rare enough, IMO this patch is "good enough". Closes #16130960

[hooks] Delete some properties cached on entities schema on schema updates cubicweb.schema add two additional @cachedproperty that should be cleared when in-memory schema is modified. This may leads to e.g. attempt to delete some already dropped relations. Related to #16130960
