Sure, but why bring in the extra dependencies just to package documentation in
a format that almost no other Python packages in Fedora use? Who will expect
it, find it, or use it?

Building HTML documentation is probably possible, but problematic due to
bundled fonts, JS, CSS and so on; see bug 2006555. FESCo decisions
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3177 and https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3269 have
made this more feasible, but still messy to try to do correctly.

I briefly considered building PDF documentation, but this is something I’ve
been trying to get away from: the TexLive dependency is very heavy, and I’ve
had several packages where the PDF documentation breaks in what is otherwise a
minor, compatible update, which puts me in a bind where I cannot update without
dropping the documentation. In this *particular* package, building the
documentation as PDF fails without giving a clear error.

Overall, I’ve long been in favor of the *idea* of packaged offline
documentation, but I’ve gradually been won over to the perspective that
documentation generated by Sphinx or Doxygen tends to be more trouble than it
is worth to package, and I have been actively working to reduce the number of
packages I maintain with this kind of documentation, not increase it.

That’s a great observation. Thanks. I’ll add ExcludeArch to this package.
