rename modules to replace 'akka' with 'pekko' about pekko HOT 7 CLOSED

Could I argue that the "commands" used to make these changes, that result in "massive commits", should be checked in as a script in a commit before the actual rename, so that:

1. The script can be reviewed instead of the change
2. The script can be applied to check that the rename commit result matches the script execution

@pjfanning Since #20 is abandoned, are you going to recreate it or should I? I was also thinking of rather than renaming the modules from akka-* to pekko-* (i.e. akka-actor to pekko-actor) that instead we should just have the module name without pekko (i.e. akka-actor would just become actor).

The reasoning is the same as renaming akka-docs to just docs, i.e. its extra/unneeded noise and its also not consistent with the other pekko repo's (i.e. alpakka doesn't have akka- prefix for each of their sbt modules). Since we are renaming the sbt modules anyways there isn't going to be any extra noise, only thing we need to do is to make sure to add the pekko- prefix in the generated jar which is quite easy.

Should also do this after #35 gets merged so as to not deal with a lot of merge conflicts.

I'd prefer to keep the dir names for the modules to match the jar names. And I think the jar names should be like 'pekko-actor', etc.

Right, but this is only the case for core akka, every other akka repo does not follow in this. In fact arguably from what I have seen in standard OS SBT projects, this isn't really idiomatic or standard practice either (i.e. having folders the same as jar names). There is no correlation of folder name to jar, and hence in some cases it can be misleading.

And I think the jar names should be like 'pekko-actor', etc.

This would be unchanged even with my suggestion, in fact its very easy to do this with SBT.

Would you be more open if I created a PR demonstrating this? Its actually not that hard.

sure, try it out

I guess this is what #71 is about.
