Most params are formally deprecated here. This was originally planned
for MDL-80042, but I realised that having an emit, and final param is a
very useful option going forward.
This patch also moves the is_deprecated(), and related methods to the
\core\deprecated attribute.
Normal removal procedure:
- Remove the plugin completely from core.
- Document it in the webservices upgrade.txt file.
- Add a core upgrade step to proceed to remove any configuration
if the plugin has not been re-installed manually.
Plus:
- Remove a few remaining uses in the hub/sites registration scripts,
that were moved from xmlrpc to hand.made rest calls by MDL-31436
(Moodle 3.4.1 and up) and never removed then.
- Remove the php-xmlrpc extension as a recommendation in composer.
- Remove "xmlrpc" from various comments, trivial cleanup.
Note:
- While working on this MDL-76078 has been created about to
fix a serious design problem detected (it does not affect
functionality). That's out from this issue scope.
This is an update of the site registration admin page and some relevant
backend code to remove the mentions of moodle.net.
AMOS BEGIN
CPY [registerwithmoodleorg,core_admin],[registerwithmoodleorg,core_hub]
AMOS END
Support for alternative hubs will be removed in 3.4
We can move all methods working with registration, course publishing and moodle.net
communication into separate namespace
