I couldn't get the edx-platform to persistently use my bind-mounted version of its dependency
openedx-learning
. I was about to write a giant post on Discourse to ask for help when I happened to notice that the documentation does contain the answer I needed ("What if my edx-platform package is not automatically bind-mounted?"). The problem was, this key section was separated from the related section ("Working on edx-platform Python dependencies") by unrelated topics like how to run the unit tests.So, this PR:
openedx-learning
without a plugin - as it is becoming a key platform dependency and at least at OpenCraft, many developers need to use a bind-mounted version of this dependency.I didn't include a changelog entry as this is primarily a documentation-only change.
