Hi there,
We plan to deprecate and remove the command paver update_db.
Please read [DEPR]: paver update_db · Issue #32683 · openedx/edx-platform · GitHub for more information and to post any questions/comments. The proposed deadline for comments before acceptance is June 14, 2023.
Once the ticket is accepted, removal can happen at any time. If you believe that paver update_db is valuable and wish to make a case for retaining it and taking over its maintainership, please speak up on the issue linked above.
After acceptance, all future notifications around removal will only be posted to the GitHub issue, so be sure to watch that issue if you want further updates.
Thanks, Diana
