From afde706afde2fea8a1dff84acaedac4f8dfe84b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Corbet Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2020 10:13:45 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Make the docs build "work" with Sphinx 3.x The Sphinx 3.x upgrade broke a number of things in our special "cdomain" module that are not easy to fix. For now, just disable that module for the 3.x build and put out a warning that the build will not be perfect.
