Description (last modified by )
I can build the html docs just fine. I'm using docutils-trunk@5629, and sphinx 0.3. I'm using the docs-refactor branch from Jacob's git repo at 8c4f062f (current HEAD as of opening this ticket)
It fails when I try to build the latex docs.
I'm still trying to diagnose this, but figured I'd open a ticket in case someone else's eyes can pick out what's wrong faster than mine could.
Here is the output:
jefferya@hemlock:~/docrf/django/docs$ make latex
mkdir -p _build/latex _build/doctrees
sphinx-build -b latex -d _build/doctrees . _build/latex
Sphinx v0.3, building latex

I've done a bit more testing. Fedora's sphinx package is several versions out of date! Impossible! Fedora is never behind in releasing their packages!
This is what I've found trying different versions of sphinx:
- 0.3 - broken
- 0.4 - broken
- 0.4.1 - works
- 0.4.2 - works
- trunk - works
Marking worksforme, because it now does in fact work for me.
Sphinx is really going fast! I didn't realize that they were that active in their development. :)
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I'd recommend trying with Sphinx 0.4.2. From what can be seen here, it's a somewhat fast moving target itself and there are a few entries in the changelog related to fixes in the LaTeX output. There are reports of people already creating PDF versions of the Django documentation, so this would indicate you outdated Sphinx is likely the cause of problems you are experiencing.
This could also dictate the minimum Sphinx version we need to document is needed to create local copies of the Django docs.
