Description

To represent the increasing scope of this repository, we are renaming it from openedx-learning to openedx-core. See the ADR for more details: https://github.com/openedx/openedx-core/blob/kdmccormick/openedx-core/docs/decisions/0021-openedx-core.rst

Practically, this PR:

  • Updates GitHub hyperlinks in this repo from openedx/openedx-learning -> openedx/openedx-core
  • Updates "Learning Core" to "Open edX Core" in various docs and comments
  • Updates various docs and comments to represent the project's new scope.
  • Publishes a new PyPI project called openedx-core, version starting at 0.34
  • Publishes a final PyPI release of openedx-learning, versioned 0.33, which is empty and just installs openedx-core as a dependency

BREAKING CHANGE notice for operators: openedx-learning==0.33.0 will be the final release of openedx-learning. It will transitively install openedx-core==0.34.0 (fully code-compatible) and not receive updates going forward. In order to receive updates, operators should install openedx-core instead.

Notes for reviewers

  • I think that I've updated pypi-publish.yml and tmp-openedx-learning/setup.py correctly in order to publish the openedx-learning final shell release. But, there's no easy way to test it without just running it. If it fails, I'll either do a quick followup PR, or I'll just log into PyPI and fix things up directly.
  • Since the repo name is now openedx-core, I'm proposing that we rebrand it from "Learning Core" to "Open edX Core", with "OexCore" being an alternative spelling for use in code names. When we need to talk about the particular APIs, we just say "Content API" or "Core Content API", "Tagging API" or "Core Tagging API", etc. Here's an example in openedx-platform. Let me know what you think.

OK, looks good and the plan sounds good to me! I can't really test this but I looked over the diff and didn't see any issues.

@bradenmacdonald I hit some hiccups when publishing openedx-learning==0.33.0 and openedx-core==0.34.0 (you can see the saga here). I ended up just fixing on main as to not leave the packages in a broken state for too long. In the end, there are no 0.33.0 or 0.34.0 releases. Instead, we have openedx-learning==0.33.1) which depends on openedx-core==0.34.1.

@kdmccormick Thanks for working through that, and no worries - I kinda figured a little point release would be necessary. It's pretty hard to predict the issues with something like this.
