Changing to /usr/bin/python3.11 Python 3.6.15 not supported. Changing to /usr/bin/python3.11 Using alabaster theme Using Python kernel-doc ... As the logic detects that Python 3.6 is too old and recommends intalling python311-Sphinx. If installed, documentation builds work like a charm. Yet, some develpers complained that running python3.11 instead of python3 should not happen. So, let's break the build to make them happier: # make htmldocs Available Python versions: /usr/bin/python3.11 Python 3.6.15 not supported. Bailing out make[2]: *** [Documentation/Makefile:74: htmldocs] Error 1 make[1]: *** [/root/Makefile:1806: htmldocs] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2 It should be then up to the user to figure out a way to make it work again.
