Increase minimum supported Sphinx to 6.2.1 #117928
Description
Activity
Fedora: 6.2.1 is good enough for 3.12+
Reacted by Hugo van KemenadeWhat Python version do you have in Leap? Is it still 3.6 as a base, and you can install newer versions as additional modules?
When do you plan to upgrade Sphinx in Leap?
Sphinx 4.2.0 is ~3 years old: https://pypi.org/project/Sphinx/4.2.0/

We've also python 3.11 in Leap, right now it's building using sphinx-build provided by Sphinx
4.2.0, using the python 3.6 interpreter, but we've also the 3.11 version, that's7.2.6. So for future releases we can just use this modern version of Sphinx to build the python interpreter documentation.So in this specific case, you can forget about the old 4.2.0 version and it should be okay to set the minimum supported Sphinx to 6.2.1. Shouldn't be a problem in openSUSE.
Reacted by Hugo van KemenadeThanks, sounds good, and we'll keep Sphinx 4.2.0 for the 3.11 branch.
Documentation
Python 3.11 is now only receiving security updates, so it's time to review the minimum Sphinx version user for 3.12+. We won't change the minimum for the 3.11 branch.
