Description Karolina Surma 2023-07-11 11:52:43 UTC

rpmdeplint fails to build with Sphinx 7.x in Fedora 39 (currently Rawhide).

The issue detected:
```
+ /usr/bin/python3 setup.py build_sphinx -b html

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help

error: invalid command 'build_sphinx'
```

Sphinx 7 has removed the setuptools integration (see: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/11363).
`setup.py` has been long deprecated and projects are encouraged to migrate away from using it.


For the logs from testing build attempts, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ksurma/doc-stack/package/rpmdeplint/

You can test you package in mock running:

$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --addrepo=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/ksurma/doc-stack/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/ --no-clean your.src.rpm
$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --addrepo=https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/ksurma/doc-stack/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/ shell

We'd like to include Sphinx 7 in Fedora 39.
Let us know here if you have any questions. Thank you!

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
