Description Tomáš Hrnčiar 2024-12-02 11:15:45 UTC 
python-pox fails to build with sphinx 8.x in Fedora 42 (currently Rawhide).

The issue detected:
```
ERROR: Invalid value `None` in intersphinx_mapping['https://docs.python.org/3/']. Expected a two-element tuple or list.

Configuration error:
Invalid `intersphinx_mapping` configuration (1 error).
```

The intersphinx_mapping error can be easily fixed by adjusting conf.py.
You can take an inspiration from this PR: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/14423

Please work with upstream on this issue, I plan to ship sphinx 8 in two weeks.


For the logs from testing build attempts, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/thrnciar/python-sphinx/package/python-pox/

You can test you package in mock running:

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

We'd like to include Sphinx 8 in Fedora 42.
Let us know here if you have any questions. Thank you!

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.
Comment 2 Fedora Release Engineering 2026-05-06 11:59:51 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '42'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 42 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
