Description Miro Hrončok 2019-04-30 12:54:16 UTC
python3-sphinx < 1:1.8 is no longer available. this prevents python-releases rebuild for Python 3.8.

I suggest skipping the docs build if it really doesn't work with Sphinx > 1.7.

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2019-06-03 09:48:03 UTC
Please?

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2019-07-10 09:58:01 UTC
Jeremy, I saw you responding in other bugzillas, so I not starting a nonreponsive maintainer policy, but plese don't ignore this.

Comment 3 Jeremy Cline 2019-07-10 20:32:40 UTC
Hi, really sorry, I just missed it in the overwhelmingly large number of bugzilla emails I get. I packaged this so I could build the twine docs, but had to drop it because it was causing too much trouble. Upstream doesn't keep up with Sphinx and nothing else is depending on it according to my repoquery. I can drop the requirement in the RPM and patch the setup.py, but it's definitely not going to work. I've gone ahead and orphaned the package.

Once again, really sorry to have missed this.

Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2019-07-10 22:36:10 UTC
This still fails:

+ /usr/bin/python3 setup.py test
Download error on https://pypi.org/simple/sphinx/: [Errno -2] Name or service not known -- Some packages may not be found!
Couldn't find index page for 'sphinx' (maybe misspelled?)

error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('sphinx<1.8,>=1.3')
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.TJAtPu (%check)

Maybe it would be better to retire the package?

Comment 5 Jeremy Cline 2019-07-11 14:43:16 UTC
I'm fine with that. I've retired the package.
