This code does not have any dependencies that are specific to any specific
version of ubuntu. So instead of testing on a specific version and then needing
to do work to keep the versions up-to-date, we switch to the ubuntu-latest
target which should be sufficient for testing purposes.
This work is being done as a part of https://github.com/openedx/platform-roadmap/issues/377
closes https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/issues/35314
We haven't quite dropped Py3.8 support yet, so we can't use these workflows if
they're compiling with 3.11:
* upgrade-one-python-dependency (upgrading a single, targeted dep)
* compile-python-requirements (recompiling all deps without upgrading)
So, we "downgrade" those workflows to use 3.8, for now. We should revert this
commit when we drop 3.8 support.
Note: The upgrade-python-requirements.yml workflow is still using 3.8, so this
commit will update the other workflows to match that one.
Adds a GH workflow that will run `make compile-requirements` and create
a PR for it and overhauls the requirements README with info on how to
use the new workflows.
README changes:
- Group the workflow/makefile info under a new heading
- Switch to imperative for headings
- Move "Upgrade all dependencies" to end of list (uncommon for people to
actually need this command, I suspect)
- Add "Add a dependency"
- Preamble about .in and .txt files and Mac vs. Linux, as well as about forks
Also, some style fixes to upgrade-one-python-dependency GH workflow:
- Fix indentation in inputs block
- Remove "-workflow" from job name (probably copied from another workflow)
- Wrap a long line
