I tested the docs build against opensuse/leap:15.6 for you, and
the install completed. One step forward.
However, running "make latexdocs" ended up with the following error:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception occurred:
File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/sphinx/builders/latex/__init__.py", line 405, in copy_support_files
for filename in os.listdir(staticdirname):
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/sphinx/texinputs'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
That "texinputs" directory is supposed to hold files to be copied along
with latex sources Sphinx will generate.
openSUSE is unique in that those files don't belong to its base Sphinx
package. They are provided in "python3-Sphinx-latex" (or
"python311-Sphinx-latex", or any appropriate one for your base Sphinx
package).
Is this news to you?
By the way, 33/39 contains diff of test_script.py and can't be applied.
I needed to remove the hunk manually and apply the remaining patches.
Anyway, your translation of sphinx-pre-install into python is now at
the bottom of my to-test/review list. So no need to respin this.
As a matter of fact, I'm seeing weird performance regression of empty
documentation builds when the O=<somedir> option is used.
It appeared in v6.15, which has your conversion of get_abi.pl into
get_abi.py. Will send a report once the time-consuming bisection
completes.
