…4519) Summary: **Background** `react-native/eslint` was relocated and renamed to `react-native/eslint-plugin-monorepo` in D76088698. **This diff** This updates all call sites to correctly address the `react-native/eslint-plugin-monorepo` package, enabling us to remove the monorepo itself from fbsource's `package.json#workspaces` (which was the only reason this kept working before). Changelog: [Internal] Differential Revision: D86869721
Summary: Following D86869721, this removes the unused `name`, `version`, and `license` fields from the project level `package.json` (previously named `react-native/monorepo`). **Motivation** - **Simplicity**: Our root package.json is a Yarn project manifest, not a package, with the `version` field serving no functional purpose. `react-native/monorepo` was never published to npm, and so `name`, `version`, and `license` were never read. - **Correctness**: Since D86869721 and our recent work to formalise monorepo dependencies in `private/`, the workspace root no longer needs to be referenced by any part of our containing fbsource codebase — and this is a conceptual footgun (Yarn-installing a package that is itself a workspace). `react-native/monorepo` no longer needs to be named, addressable, or installable. Or, phrased another way: - Delete `name` — never try to reference this as an npm package! - Delete `version` — never think about versioning this file! - Delete `license` — unread, duplicate of `LICENSE.md`.
