Description Karolina Surma 2026-02-16 11:38:38 UTC
[heads up] python-sphinx-argparse-cli will fail to build with Sphinx 9+ which is going to be shipped in Fedora 45.

+ /usr/bin/python3 -m tox --current-env --assert-config -q --recreate -e py314 -- --verbose
ImportError while loading conftest '/builddir/build/BUILD/python-sphinx-argparse-cli-1.11.1-build/sphinx-argparse-cli-1.11.1/tests/conftest.py'.
tests/conftest.py:8: in <module>
    from sphinx.testing.path import path
E   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sphinx.testing.path'

Build attempts: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ksurma/sphinx-9/package/python-sphinx-argparse-cli/

This should work: https://github.com/tox-dev/sphinx-argparse-cli/pull/163

Thank you for working on this!

Hello,

Please note that this comment was generated automatically by https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/tooling/src/branch/main/release-process/bug-filing/follow-policy/follow_policy.py
If you feel that this output has mistakes, please open an issue at https://forge.fedoraproject.org/releng/tickets/issues

This package fails to install and maintainers are advised to take one of the following actions:

 - Fix this bug and close this bugzilla once the update makes it to the repository.
   (The same script that posted this comment will eventually close this bugzilla
   when the fixed package reaches the repository, so you don't have to worry about it.)

or

 - Move this bug to ASSIGNED if you plan on fixing this, but simply haven't done so yet.

or

 - Orphan the package if you no longer plan to maintain it.


If you do not take one of these actions, the process at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/#_package_removal_for_long_standing_ftbfs_and_fti_bugs will continue.
This package may be orphaned in 7+ weeks.
This is the first reminder (step 3) from the policy.

Don't hesitate to ask for help on https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/ if you are unsure how to fix this bug.

All subpackages of a package against which this bug was filled are now installable or removed from Fedora 45.

Thanks for taking care of it!
