What Sphinx (and, thus, Python) versions does the GCC manual build work with? Can it work with e.g. any Sphinx versions from the past five years, or are there newer Sphinx features that are critical for the GCC manuals? I've seen a need for frequent Sphinx updates being a pain when building other software using Sphinx for its manual. > Also we rely on TexLive for PDF output and that's a bit of a pain to > install. Tex was incorrectly packaged on some RHEL/CentOS versions. This is nothing new, since building PDF manuals from Texinfo sources also needs TeX. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
