Add a script to > check if everything is ok. just my 5cent: What we need is a "requirements.txt" file to define a **reference environment**. E.g. to stick Sphinx 1.4.9 in such a reference environment:: <snip: requirements.txt> --- Sphinx==1.4.9 sphinx_rtd_theme <snap> --------------------- The rest is similarly to what you wrote in doc-guide/sphinx.rst ... The ref-environment can be build with virtualenv & pip:: $ virtualenv --python=python3 docenv (doc-env) $ source ./docenv/bin/activate (doc-env) $ pip install -r requirements.txt >From now we can start our build as usual. If not already done, first activate the environment:: $ . ./docenv/bin/activate (doc-env) $ make htmldocs This (requirements.txt) is the way python packaging goes. Ok, this won't solve TeX installation problems of Linux distros, for this a script like the one here in your RFC is helpful. -- Markus -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
