Technically that's unrelated: thanks to your venv work, :) builds on RHEL 8 / CentOS Stream 8 do not pick the platform Sphinx, because it runs under Python 3.6. Therefore the version included in RHEL 8 does not matter for picking the minimum supported Sphinx version. > Debian 11: v3.4.3 (QEMU support ends 2024-07-xx) Nice. :) > diff --git a/pythondeps.toml b/pythondeps.toml > index 9c16602d303..bc656376caa 100644 > --- a/pythondeps.toml > +++ b/pythondeps.toml > @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ meson = { accepted = ">=0.63.0", installed = "1.2.3", canary = "meson" } > > [docs] > # Please keep the installed versions in sync with docs/requirements.txt > -sphinx = { accepted = ">=1.6", installed = "5.3.0", canary = "sphinx-build" } > +sphinx = { accepted = ">=3.4.3", installed = "5.3.0", canary = "sphinx-build" } > sphinx_rtd_theme = { accepted = ">=0.5", installed = "1.1.1" } > > [avocado] Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Paolo

Offline requirements are not a problem; on RHEL 8 you just have to install with pip in order to build docs offline. But yes, RHEL 9 is still using platform Python and therefore 3.4.3 remains the limit even after we stop supporting bullseye. Paolo

It's not a problem for developer workflow, just downstream packaging. Luckily OpenSUSE offers newer Sphinx, but RHEL doesn't yet. Maybe that can be rectified eventually - possibly after 3.8 is EOL and there is increased demand for newer Python packages to be made available in RHEL... but not yet, today. > > Paolo > > Thanks for the ack O:-)

Agreed, switching to PyPI packages is not something that should be done lightly---only after the platform Python is EOL, and only if there are benefits for QEMU to require 3.9 (like there were for 3.7). In that case, downstream could still package QEMU but they'd have to build python39-sphinx or something like that. Paolo > Luckily OpenSUSE offers newer Sphinx, but RHEL doesn't yet.

With RHEL 8 support retired (It's been two years today since RHEL 9 came out), our very oldest build platform version of Sphinx is now 3.4.3; and keeping backwards compatibility for versions as old as v1.6 when using domain extensions is a lot of work we don't need to do. This patch is motivated by my work creating a new QAPI domain, which unlike the dbus documentation, cannot be allowed to regress by creating a "dummy" doc. Easier is to improve our minimum version as far as we can push it forwards, reducing my burden in creating cross-compatibility hacks and patches.
