Before this patch, building htmldocs on opensuseLEAP works
fine:
# make htmldocs
Available Python versions:
/usr/bin/python3.11
Python 3.6.15 not supported. Changing to /usr/bin/python3.11
Python 3.6.15 not supported. Changing to /usr/bin/python3.11
Using alabaster theme
Using Python kernel-doc
...
As the logic detects that Python 3.6 is too old and recommends
intalling python311-Sphinx. If installed, documentation builds
work like a charm.
Yet, some develpers complained that running python3.11 instead
of python3 should not happen. So, let's break the build to make
them happier:
# make htmldocs Available Python versions:
/usr/bin/python3.11
Python 3.6.15 not supported. Bailing out
make[2]: *** [Documentation/Makefile:74: htmldocs] Error 1
make[1]: *** [/root/Makefile:1806: htmldocs] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
It should be then up to the user to figure out a way to make
it work again.
