pkg_resources is available in python 3.12 only if setuptools is
explicitely installed, which is not always the case. We fix that by
replacing all usage of pkg_resources with importlib_resources and
importlib_metadata.

Environment was not updated correctly on `tutor plugins enable ...`
because of a caching issue. To bypass this issue, we improve the caching
mechanism and introduce a new `lru_cache` decorator.
Close #989.
Running `tutor config save` with an outdated version of pycryptodome was
failing with the following error:
Error: Missing configuration value: 'Crypto.PublicKey.RSA.RsaKey object' has no attribute 'dq'
This is because the "dq" attribute was only introduced in pycryptodome
3.17.0: https://www.pycryptodome.org/src/changelog#january-2023
To resolve this issue we bump the minimum requirements.
Close #962
New hook Action that allows tutor plugins to interact with the configuration at the time of the interactive questionnaire that happens during `tutor local/dev launch`.
These changes make to possible to run:
tutor mounts add /path/to/my-xblock
The xblock directory with then be auto-magically bind-mounted in the
"openedx" image at build time, and the lms*/cms* containers at run time.
This makes it effectively possible to work as a developer on
edx-platform requirements.
We take the opportunity to move some openedx-specific code to a
dedicated module.
Close https://github.com/openedx/wg-developer-experience/issues/177
The new domain name points to 127.0.0.1, just like the previous one. We
keep the local.overhang.io domain names for backward compatibility. In
the future, we hope to migrate to "*.openedx.io" but that will not
happen before Redwood.
Close #945
Bumping the `OPENEDX_COMMON_VERSION` in the master branch usually
creates a conflict when we merge the change in the nightly branch. To
avoid this conflict, we add some logic to the `OPENEDX_COMMON_VERSION`.
This change should be invisible for most users.
This partially addresses issue #936.
MySQL 8 defaults to a binlog expiry period of 2592000 seconds
(30 days), which for Tutor/Open edX purposes can be considered
excessive.
On the one hand, it is unlikely that a MySQL server configured for
Tutor uses MySQL replication at all (considering that up until Tutor
15 and MySQL 5.7, the binlog was disabled by default, rendering
replication impossible). Even if it does, a replica lagging more than
two days behind the primary server would be unacceptable.
Likewise, it is unlikely that an Open edX database is backed up less
than once a day, thus is is unlikely that Open edX admins would
benefit from the ability to do point-in-time restore over a 30-day
period.
On the other hand, having a 30-day binlog expiry period can
considerably increase the storage space requirements for the MySQL
container, particularly on busy Open edX platforms. When left
unchecked, this can even cause the MySQL container to run into "No
space left on device" situations, disabling the MySQL database
altogether. Thus, the MySQL default settings are likely to be a net
disadvantage for Open edX admins.
Finally, all of the above considerations apply only if the Open edX
administrator has chosen to run their own MySQL and not opted for a
DBaaS solution like AWS RDS.
Thus, it should be acceptable to run with a reduced binlog expiry
period of 3 days (rather than 30) by default.
Therefore, inject the --binlog-expire-logs-seconds=259200 argument
into the Tutor-generated command to start mysqld.
