OK - Dan requested extra version information in the commit message to 7, which I am researching a bit more exhaustively now. I can reply to that patch with the requested info and if you'd like to pick 1-4 & 7, you can be my guest. I will say that once upon a time, Peter Maydell expressed a preference to use the version(s) of sphinx managed by the distro instead of swallowing it into the python-managed parts of the codebase. It seemed like a reasonable request at the time. We can revisit it once I get the patches in to add a venv at configure time. (Which I was intending to visit next.) > > Paolo >
