[DEPR-2U] Paver

[robrap]

2U follow-up

• Original DEPR: [DEPR]: Paver openedx/edx-platform#34467

ACs:

• Remove references and usages of paver in both the configuration and devstack repositories.
• Verify that there are no other usages of it in the edx org.

@dianakhuang are you able to break out the steps needed to complete the AC above? We would like Arbi-BOM to do the work, but having the tasks clear is a first step.

@jristau1984 added some ACs. I that's not detailed enough, I can add some more details when I get a chance.

• I find it helpful if there is always an accompanying comment when moving to blocked that explains why a ticket is blocked.
• Kyle posted a warning in the #cc-edx-platform channel that removal of Paver could come as early as tomorrow. I'm unclear if we are prepared for that change or not.
• Here are the results of a search for paver in the edx org.

Hi @robrap

• I'll make sure to keep the status updated on the issue.
• This was moved to blocked when I had to prioritize team coordination and management of Devstack work streams (Dockerfiles deprecation && devstack.py config migration) in absence of Soban but will be picked up again soon.

Thanks @UsamaSadiq. This missed the deadline of 2024-11-09. Our team discussed using Slack to give a 1 month warning that a DEPR deadline is approaching. However, maybe during a retro your team could discuss how to ensure that a deadline gets associated with the tickets so it stays top of mind. Thanks again.

All the occurrences of paver have been removed from edX organization. Only change left is in the commerce-coordinator-private repo which has been shared with owning team for review but it is not a blocker for us any more.

Update: edxapp paver deprecation change had to be reverted due to staticfiles path issue which needs to be investigated and fixed before removing all the paver commands.

Sandbox testing on fixing the issue failed. Details in the thread https://twou.slack.com/archives/C04B987KHK5/p1733149482510109.
