Yeah, sure! With those changes it work fine here too.

It sounds that Fedora 30 is conservative with regards to python :-) The Sphinx version detection script takes it into account, suggesting pip3 instead of pip - or when called like: $ ./scripts/sphinx-pre-install --no-virtualenv Detected OS: Fedora release 30 (Thirty). ERROR: please install "python-sphinx", otherwise, build won't work. Warning: better to also install "sphinx_rtd_theme". You should run: sudo dnf install -y python3-sphinx python3-sphinx_rtd_theme It seeks for the python3 packages on Fedora. Regards, Mauro
