Hi Jon, This series contain some improvements for the building system. I sent already several of the patches here. They're rebased on the top of your docs-next tree: patch 1: gets rid of a warning since version 1.8 (I guess it starts appearing with 1.8.6); patches 2 to 4: improve the pre-install script; patches 5 to 8: improve the script with checks broken doc references; patch 9: by default, use "-jauto" with Sphinx 1.7 or upper, in order to speed up the build. patch 10 changes the recommended Sphinx version to 1.7.9. It keeps the minimal supported version to 1.3. Patch 4 contains a good description of the improvements made at the build system. If you prefer, you can pull those patches (and the next series I'm submitting you) from my development git tree: https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=fix_doc_links_v2 Regards, Mauro - Mauro Carvalho Chehab (10): docs: cdomain.py: get rid of a warning since version 1.8 scripts/sphinx-pre-install: make activate hint smarter scripts/sphinx-pre-install: get rid of RHEL7 explicity check scripts/sphinx-pre-install: always check if version is compatible with build scripts/documentation-file-ref-check: better handle translations scripts/documentation-file-ref-check: exclude false-positives scripts/documentation-file-ref-check: improve tools ref handling scripts/documentation-file-ref-check: teach about .txt -> .yaml renames docs: by default, build docs a lot faster with Sphinx >= 1.7 docs: requirements.txt: recommend Sphinx 1.7.9 Documentation/Makefile | 7 +++ Documentation/doc-guide/sphinx.rst | 17 +++--- Documentation/sphinx/cdomain.py | 5 +- Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt | 4 +- scripts/documentation-file-ref-check | 44 ++++++++++++---- scripts/sphinx-pre-install | 75 +++++++++++++++------------ 6 files changed, 97 insertions(+), 55 deletions(-) -- 2.21.0
