I applied this, then tried to see what would happen if I ran a build without having rst2pdf installed: > 1108 meer kernel: make htmldocs > SPHINX htmldocs --> file:///stuff/k/git/kernel/Documentation/output > make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'html'. > WARNING: The kernel documentation build process > support for Sphinx v3.0 and above is brand new.

Pretty much none of the larger "books" make it through. It's a start, though. I'll happily apply this as a step forward once it doesn't break the docs build if rst2pdf is missing. Thanks, jon
