6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Akira Yokosawa <akiyks@xxxxxxxxx>
commit d43ddd5c91802a46354fa4c4381416ef760676e2 upstream.
Running "make htmldocs" on a newly installed Sphinx 7.3.7 ends up in
a build error:
Sphinx parallel build error:
AttributeError: module 'docutils.nodes' has no attribute 'reprunicode'
docutils 0.21 has removed nodes.reprunicode, quote from release note [1]:
* Removed objects:
docutils.nodes.reprunicode, docutils.nodes.ensure_str()
Python 2 compatibility hacks
Sphinx 7.3.0 supports docutils 0.21 [2]:
kernel_include.py, whose origin is misc.py of docutils, uses reprunicode.
Upstream docutils removed the offending line from the corresponding file
(docutils/docutils/parsers/rst/directives/misc.py) in January 2022.
Quoting the changelog [3]:
Deprecate `nodes.reprunicode` and `nodes.ensure_str()`.
Drop uses of the deprecated constructs (not required with Python 3).
Do the same for kernel_include.py.
Tested against:
- Sphinx 2.4.5 (docutils 0.17.1)
- Sphinx 3.4.3 (docutils 0.17.1)
- Sphinx 5.3.0 (docutils 0.18.1)
- Sphinx 6.2.1 (docutils 0.19)
- Sphinx 7.2.6 (docutils 0.20.1)
- Sphinx 7.3.7 (docutils 0.21.2)
