Rename NPM package to kubo #51

Closed lidel closed 1 year ago

lidel commented 2 years ago

Part of https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/8959

TODO

[x] see if we can get kubo on NPM – tracked in https://github.com/queerviolet/werkit/issues/1 (if it does not work out, we could go with kubo-bin)
[x] decide if we want to do dual-publishing to both names, or deprecate old one
[x] update CI to publish to new name
[x] deprecate go-ipfs and point at kubo

FYI, the ipfs namespace on npmjs is owned by Juan and we just need to figure out what he needs to do to transfer ownership to one of our service accounts, and then we could get @ipfs/kubo if that's something we want to do.

https://www.npmjs.com/~npm-service-account-ipfs is the most suitable account for this I think.

We now have https://www.npmjs.com/package/kubo and I've invited npm-service-account-ipfs to be one of the maintainers.

I don' think dual-publishing is worth it, as it would require additional code that modifies package.json in between builds. Let's switch to a new name, and once Kubo 0.23 ships, deprecate the go-ipfs with message asking people to switch to kubo.
