front-end: Use select2 from node_modules and stop bundling it select2 3.5.4 was added in 304e83e9bcde ... but the latest npm release in the 3 series is 3.5.1, so we use that one instead. We should probably upgrade to the 4 series. The select2 images were not in the location the generated css pointed - now we copy them from node_modules to the right location, next to the generated css. Note: this will drop 190cb30841de "branches: fix performance of branch selectors with many branches - only show the first 200 results" ... but it should no longer be relevant now when we use server side filtering. 15e507047bae introduced select2-bootstrap.css - it is not clear what version was used, but we use the latest 1.4.6 which also is very old.

Debugging Kallithea
===================

If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions
on how to debug them.

.. note:: First make sure you're using the latest version available.


Enable detailed debug
---------------------

Kallithea uses the standard Python ``logging`` module to log its output.
By default only loggers with ``INFO`` level are displayed. To enable full output
change ``level = DEBUG`` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.


Enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out ``set debug = false`` in
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.

.. warning:: NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console
             can be a serious security threat to your system.
