Deprecate unmaintained CLIs and remove documentation generation

[tdeekens]

Summary

We will continue to support the CLIs in this repository.

This change we will undertake to achieve this is:

1. Add a deprecation notice to all packages with a reference to the source code
2. Remove the non functioning documentation generation
3. Packages remain available on NPM

This leaves us in this repository with: sync-actions, personal-data-erasure, resource-deleter and the leagcy SDK. For these we should evaluate other strategies e.g. to move them to the TypeScript SDK.

Thanks a lot for this PR 🚀

We have this docs page and I can see that we are completely removing the dos from this repository.

My question is what will become of the docs website, are we going to completely unpublish it as well or keep it?

Hi, when do you intend to merge this PR and would it impact our docs in any way? Please provide us with information regarding the pages from https://commercetools.github.io/nodejs/ which are being removed as we may need to make adjustments.

The CLI tools have been deprecated starting March 31st 2025.

I would recommend creating a release note for this on the docs repo. Have users of these tools been informed of this deprecation in advance?

Hi @industrian we decided to keep the docs pages available and fix them for the packages which continue to exist. I will doublecheck if anything removed is linked to.

[tdeekens]

I double checked @industrian: any public facing documentation only links to the personal data ereasure which will remain accessible.

Furthermore the release notes of Impex also pointed out that

So this isn't a surprise I think.

this file was removed in default branch as it's the nav is built automatically
