[PATCH 0/6] more kernel-doc patches

[PATCH 0/6] more kernel-doc patches

[Daniel Vetter]

Hi all,

Finally gotten around to polish and flush these out. I think Markus'
kfigure/kimage/krender support is now simplified a lot (at least as much as I
managed with my python/sphinx noob-ness), and also rebase the doc patch about
the light markup approach we've discussed a while ago.

Follow-up patches are all for drm to show how awesome the inline DOT stuff is
and how much I want it. To get them in I'd need a topic branch.

I think the rst syntax itself is solid (I liked it a lot in the DRM patches), so
if more polish is needed for the script I'd like if we can get the current
version landed, to unblock the DRM doc work - I orignally wrote these for 4.10.

Cheers, Daniel

[PATCH 1/6] doc: Explain light-handed markup preference a bit better

[Daniel Vetter]

We already had a super-short blurb, but worth extending it I think:
We're still pretty far away from anything like a consensus, but
there's clearly a lot of people who prefer an as-light as possible
approach to converting existing .txt files to .rst. Make sure this is
properly taken into account and clear.

Motivated by discussions with Peter and Christoph and others.

v2:
- Mention that existing headings should be kept when converting
  existing .txt files (Mauro).
- Explain that we prefer :: for quoting code, it's easier on the
  eyes (Mauro).
- Explain that blindly converting outdated docs is harmful. Motived
  by comments Peter did in our discussion.

v3: Make the explanations around fixed-width quoting more concise
(Jani).

v4:
- Rebase onto docs-4.10.
- Go with the more terse recommendation from Jani, defer to the much
  more detailed conversion guide Mauro is working on for details.

[PATCH 2/6] docs-rst: automatically convert Graphviz and SVG images

[Daniel Vetter]

From: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de>

This patch brings scalable figure, image handling and a concept to
embed *render* markups:

* DOT (http://www.graphviz.org)
* SVG

For image handling use the 'image' replacement::

    .. kernel-image::  svg_image.svg
       :alt:    simple SVG image

For figure handling use the 'figure' replacement::

    .. kernel-figure::  svg_image.svg
       :alt:    simple SVG image

       SVG image example

Embed *render* markups (or languages) like Graphviz's **DOT** is
provided by the *render* directive.::

  .. kernel-render:: DOT
     :alt: foobar digraph
     :caption: Embedded **DOT** (Graphviz) code.

     digraph foo {
      "bar" -> "baz";
     }

The *render* directive is a concept to integrate *render* markups and
languages, yet supported markups:

* DOT: render embedded Graphviz's **DOT**
* SVG: render embedded Scalable Vector Graphics (**SVG**)

v2: s/DOC/DOT/ in a few places (by Daniel).

v3: Simplify stuff a bit (by Daniel):

- Remove path detection and setup/check code for that. In
  Documentation/media/Makefile we already simply use these tools,
  better to have one consolidated check if we want/need one. Also
  remove the convertsvg support, we require ImageMagick's convert
  already in the doc build, no need for a 2nd fallback.

- Use sphinx for depency tracking, remove hand-rolled version.

- Forward stderr from dot and convert, otherwise debugging issues with
  the diagrams is impossible.

+Figures & Images
+================
+
+If you want to add an image, you should use the ``kernel-figure`` and
+``kernel-image`` directives. E.g. to insert a figure with a scalable
+image format use SVG::
+
+    .. kernel-figure::  svg_image.svg
+       :alt:    simple SVG image
+
+       SVG image example
+
+.. kernel-figure::  svg_image.svg
+   :alt:    simple SVG image
+
+   SVG image example
+
+The kernel figure (and image) directive support **DOT** formated files, see
+
+* DOT: http://graphviz.org/pdf/dotguide.pdf
+* Graphviz: http://www.graphviz.org/content/dot-language
+
+A simple example::
+
+  .. kernel-figure::  hello.dot
+     :alt:    hello world
+
+     DOT's hello world example
+
+.. kernel-figure::  hello.dot
+   :alt:    hello world
+
+   DOT's hello world example
+
+Embed *render* markups (or languages) like Graphviz's **DOT** is provided by the
+``kernel-render`` directives.::
+
+  .. kernel-render:: DOT
+     :alt: foobar digraph
+     :caption: Embedded **DOT** (Graphviz) code.
+
+     digraph foo {
+      "bar" -> "baz";
+     }
+
+How this will be rendered depends on the installed tools. If Graphviz is
+installed, you will see an vector image. If not the raw markup is inserted as
+*literal-block*.
+
+.. kernel-render:: DOT
+   :alt: foobar digraph
+   :caption: Embedded **DOT** (Graphviz) code.
+
+   digraph foo {
+      "bar" -> "baz";
+   }
+

+          "drm_encoder B" -> "drm_connector B"
+      }
+   }
+
+The basic object structure KMS presents to userspace is fairly simple.
+Framebuffers (represented by :c:type:`struct drm_framebuffer <drm_framebuffer>`,
+see `Frame Buffer Abstraction`_) feed into planes. Multiple (or just one, or
+even no) planes feed their pixel data into a CRTC (represented by
+:c:type:`struct drm_crtc <drm_crtc>`, see `CRTC Abstraction`_) for blending. The
+precise blending step is explained in more detail in `Plane Composition
+Properties`_ and related chapter.
+
+For the output routing the first step are Encoders (represented by
+:c:type:`struct drm_encoder <drm_encoder>`, see `Encoder Abstraction`_). Those
+are really just internal artifacts of the helper libraries used to implement KMS
+drivers. But unfortunately encoders have been exposed to userspace. Besides that
+they make it unecessarily more complicated for userspace to figure out which
+connections between a CRTC and a connector, and what kind of cloning is
+supported, they serve no purpose in the userspace API. Futhermore the exposed
+restrictions are often wrongly set by drivers, and in many cases not powerful
+enough to express the real restrictions. A CRTC can be connected to multiple
+Encoders, but for an active CRTC there must be at least one encoder.
+
+The final, and real, endpoint in the display chain is the connector (represented
+by :c:type:`struct drm_connector <drm_connector>`, see `Connector
+Abstraction`_). Connectors can have different possible encoders, but the kernel
+driver does this selection. The use case is DVI, which could switch between an
+analog and a digital encoder. There is only ever one active connector for any
+encoder.
+
+Internally the output pipeline is a bit more complex and matches todays hardware
+more closely:
+
+.. kernel-render:: DOT
+   :alt: KMS Output Pipeline
+   :caption: KMS Output Pipeline
+
+   digraph "Output Pipeline" {
+      node [shape=box]
+
+      subgraph {
+          "drm_crtc" [bgcolor=grey style=filled]
+      }
+
+      subgraph cluster_internal {
+          style=dashed
+          label="Internal Pipeline"
+          {
+              node [bgcolor=grey style=filled]
+              "drm_encoder A";
+              "drm_encoder B";
+              "drm_encoder C";
+          }
+
+          {
+              node [bgcolor=grey style=filled]
+              "drm_encoder B" -> "drm_bridge B"
+              "drm_encoder C" -> "drm_bridge C1"
+              "drm_bridge C1" -> "drm_bridge C2";
+          }
+      }
+
+      "drm_crtc" -> "drm_encoder A"
+      "drm_crtc" -> "drm_encoder B"
+      "drm_crtc" -> "drm_encoder C"
+

+          style=dashed
+          label="Outputs"
+
+          "drm_encoder A" -> "drm_connector A";
+          "drm_bridge B" -> "drm_connector B";
+          "drm_bridge C2" -> "drm_connector C";
+
+          "drm_panel"
+      }
+   }
+
+Internally two additional helper objects come into play. First, to be able to
+share code for encoders (sometimes on the same SoC, sometimes off-chip) one or
+more :ref:`drm_bridges` (represented by :c:type:`struct drm_bridge
+<drm_bridge>`) can be linked to an encoder. This link is static and cannot be
+changed, which means the cross-bar (if there is any) needs to be mapped between
+the CRTC and any encoders. Often for drivers with bridges there's no code left
+at the encoder level. Atomic drivers can leave out all the encoder callbacks to
+essentially only leave a dummy routing object behind, which is needed for
+backwards compatibility since encoders are exposed to userspace.
+
+The second objects are panels, represented by :c:type:`struct drm_panel
+<drm_panel>`, see :ref:`drm_panel_helper`. Panels do not have a fixed binding
+point, but are generally linked to the driver private structure which embeds
+:c:type:`struct drm_connector <drm_connector>`.
+
+Note that currently the bridge chaining and interactions with connectors and
+panels are still in-flux and not really fully sorted out yet.

[PATCH 4/6] drm/doc: Consistent kerneldoc include order

[Daniel Vetter]

First overview text (if there is any), then headers (since generally
you want to start out with the data structures), then all the other
stuff with functions.

Most of this is pre-shpinx, since with the old docbook only the
overview stuff was pulled in directly. Everything else was put in a
per-section index, so include order didn't really matter.

[PATCH 6/6] drm/doc: atomic overview, with graph

[Daniel Vetter]

I want to split up a few more things and document some details better
(like how exactly to subclass drm_atomic_state). And maybe also split
up the helpers a bit per-topic, but this should be a ok-ish start for
better atomic overview.

One thing I failed at is getting DOT to layout the overview graph how
I want it. The highlevel structure I want is:

	Free-standing State

	Current State

i.e. one over the other. Currently it lays it out side-by-side, but
not even that really - "Current State" is somewhat offset below. Makes
the graph look like garbage, and also way too wide for proper
rendering. Ideas appreciated.

+  allows us to implement the DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY mode, which allows
+  userspace to explore whether certain configurations would work or not.
+
+- This would still allows setting and rollback of just the software state,
+  simplifying conversion of existing drivers. But auditing drivers for
+  correctness of the atomic_check code because really hard with that.
+
+- Lastly, for backwards compatibility and to support all use-cases, atomic
+  updates need to be incremental and be able to execute in parallel. Hardware
+  doesn't always allow it, but where possible plane updates on different CRTCs
+  should not interfere, and not get stalled due to output routing changing on
+  different CRTCs.
+
+Taken all together there's two consequence for the atomic design:
+
+- The overall state is split up into per-object state structures:
+  :c:type:`struct drm_plane_state <drm_plane_state>` for planes, :c:type:`struct
+  drm_crtc_state <drm_crtc_state>` for CRTCs and :c:type:`struct
+  drm_connector_state <drm_connector_state` for connectors. These are the only
+  objects with userspace-visible and settable state. For internal state drivers
+  can subclass these structures through embeddeding, or add entirely new state
+  structures for their globally shared hardware functions.
+
+- An atomic update is assembled and validated as an enterily free-standing pile
+  of structures within the :c:type:`drm_atomic_state <drm_atomic_state>`
+  container. Again drivers can subclass that container for their own state
+  structure tracking needs. Only when a state is commit is it applied to the
+  driver and modeset objects. This way rolling back an update boils down to
+  releasing memory and unreference objects like framebuffers.

Thanks for writing these docs.  I wish I had them back when I was
starting vc4's atomic code!  With the two little spelling nits fixed,
3-5 are:

A few copyedits on this one below, but it sounds like you don't want to
push quite yet while you sort out the rendering.

I've spent quite some time trying to beat DOT into submission, this is the
best I can do. The FIXME really is just a hint for someone with more clue
to maybe make it better, or if not possible at all, what would look better
when doing a proper diagram with .svg or something like that.

Assuming no one knows how to fix this, I'd still like to push it - it's
still better than nothing imo, you just need to look at the picture
full-screen.

Small nit, but, shouldn't you add dst_fname to img_node only if
dot2format or svg2pdf was successful?

If you add a hidden edge from any of the "duplicated" nodes to the
drm_device node, the second cluster will be pushed to the third rank
and do what I think you want.

Something like:

 "duplicated drm_plane_state A" -> "drm_device"[style=invis]

This is the result for me:

https://people.collabora.com/~krisman/atomic_modesetting.svg

I think it got a little better.

I kinda assumed they're always successful, since the media documentation
build already requires them.

Yeah, much better, thanks for the suggestion. Still rather small-ish, but
it's a busy graph, so that can't be helped really.

[PATCH] drm/doc: atomic overview, with graph

[Daniel Vetter]

I want to split up a few more things and document some details better
(like how exactly to subclass drm_atomic_state). And maybe also split
up the helpers a bit per-topic, but this should be a ok-ish start for
better atomic overview.

v2: Spelling and clarifications (Eric).

v3: Implement suggestion from Gabriel to fix the graph.

+Atomic provides transactional modeset (including planes) updates, but a
+bit differently from the usual transactional approach of try-commit and
+rollback:
+
+- Firstly, no hardware changes are allowed when the commit would fail. This
+  allows us to implement the DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY mode, which allows
+  userspace to explore whether certain configurations would work or not.
+
+- This would still allow setting and rollback of just the software state,
+  simplifying conversion of existing drivers. But auditing drivers for
+  correctness of the atomic_check code becomes really hard with that: Rolling
+  back changes in data structures all over the place is hard to get right.
+
+- Lastly, for backwards compatibility and to support all use-cases, atomic
+  updates need to be incremental and be able to execute in parallel. Hardware
+  doesn't always allow it, but where possible plane updates on different CRTCs
+  should not interfere, and not get stalled due to output routing changing on
+  different CRTCs.
+
+Taken all together there's two consequences for the atomic design:
+
+- The overall state is split up into per-object state structures:
+  :c:type:`struct drm_plane_state <drm_plane_state>` for planes, :c:type:`struct
+  drm_crtc_state <drm_crtc_state>` for CRTCs and :c:type:`struct
+  drm_connector_state <drm_connector_state` for connectors. These are the only
+  objects with userspace-visible and settable state. For internal state drivers
+  can subclass these structures through embeddeding, or add entirely new state
+  structures for their globally shared hardware functions.
+
+- An atomic update is assembled and validated as an enterily free-standing pile
+  of structures within the :c:type:`drm_atomic_state <drm_atomic_state>`
+  container. Again drivers can subclass that container for their own state
+  structure tracking needs. Only when a state is committed is it applied to the
+  driver and modeset objects. This way rolling back an update boils down to
+  releasing memory and unreferencing objects like framebuffers.

SHORT:

At this time (Phase 1: Reading), the internal doctree is build and
with these two lines:

>>> +        img_node['uri'] = dst_fname
>>> +        img_node['candidates'] = {'*': dst_fname}


the image is added as wildcard "*" to the doctree. 

Later (Phase 4: Writing), when the output is generated from
doctree, the (pdf-/html-) builder will search for the best
existing "*" candidate, e.g. "*.svg" for html and "*.pdf"
for LaTeX.

MORE VERBOSE:

To see/understand the whole play we have to know that Sphinx/docutils
has Build Phases: 

* http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/extdev/tutorial.html#build-phases

"""
Phase 1: Reading
In Phase 1, all source files (and on subsequent builds, those that are new or changed) are read and parsed. This is the phase where directives and roles are encountered by docutils, and the corresponding code is executed. The output of this phase is a doctree for each source file"""
...

Phase 4: Writing
This phase converts the resolved doctrees to the desired output format, such as HTML or LaTeX. This happens via a so-called docutils writer that visits the individual nodes of each doctree and produces some output in the process.
"""

The visitor for handling kernel_image, kernel_render and kernel_figure
directives are analog, so lets look at the simple one::

+def visit_kernel_image(self, node):    # pylint: disable=W0613
+    """Visitor of the ``kernel_image`` Node.
+
+    Handles the ``image`` child-node with the ``convert_image(...)``.
+    """
+    img_node = node[0]
+    convert_image(img_node, self)

this is the visitor, for building the internal doctree. The visitor
calls convert_image() with img_node as first argument.

The convert_image() first evals a new dst_fname for image
types which are covered by:

+    dst_fname     = None
...
+    if in_ext == '.dot':
+        dst_fname = path.join(out_dir, fname + '.pdf')
....
+
+    elif in_ext == '.svg':
+        if translator.builder.format == 'latex':
+            dst_fname = path.join(out_dir, fname + '.pdf')

Consider that dst_fname is always in the out_dir. So, if this image type
is covered by convert_image(), we have to remove the old image from
builder's image-stack (the stack is outside of the node-tree).

+    if dst_fname:
+        name = dst_fname[len(out_dir) + 1:]
+        # the builder needs not to copy one more time, so pop it if exists.
+        translator.builder.images.pop(img_node['uri'], None)
+        img_node['uri'] = dst_fname
+        img_node['candidates'] = {'*': dst_fname}


So you might already guess, this image handling method is bonded
only to Phase 1 and we do not need to touch any builder (Phase 4).
The central point is the last line:

+        img_node['candidates'] = {'*': dst_fname}

The other important thing is, that generated files (dst_fname) are 
always in the out_dir. This is needed, since kernel-build should not
pollute the src_folder.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the patch.

With this applied, I get

sphinx.directive.patches got introduced in Sphinx 1.4. If you want to bump the
minimum required version I think a notice is needed.

Ugh. But this also goes completely over my head, no idea whether we
must require sphinx 1.4 (it was released Mar 28, 2016), or whether
there's some way to work around this ... Halp?

I'm not a Sphinx expert so I don't know, but what I can tell is that copying 
the patches.py from Sphinx 1.4 to Documentation/sphinx/ and modifying 
kfigure.py to import it from there fixes the build. There's thus no extra 
depencency on Sphinx 1.4 (or newer).

I'm not sure we want to set a precedent by copying part of the Sphinx source 
code to the kernel tree (or inlining the single small function that the module 
provides), and I'll let someone more knowledgeable than me decide how to 
proceed.

I'd actually move the sentence towards the end of the paragraph and modify it 
to

"Unfortunately connectors have been exposed to userspace, so we can't remove 
them at this point."

or something similar.

I would have written "backward compatibility" but after checking I'm not too 
sure anymore. Documentation/ contains the same number of occurrences of each 
(at least after this patch, so it's a win for "backward compatibility" with a 
very thin margin in current mainline :-)).

Aargh ... we need virtualenv! For interim something like the following
might help. In file Documentation/sphinx/kfigure.py edit the imports

...
from docutils.parsers.rst.directives import images
try:
    from sphinx.directives.patches import Figure
except ImportError:
    Figure = images.Figure 
...

And fix the class definition, so it use 'Figure' and no
longer 'patch.Figure'::

...
-class KernelFigure(patches.Figure):
+class KernelFigure(Figure):
...

Sorry that I have not yet the time to send you a decent and tested
patch. Do you like to test my suggestion? / thanks!

For each active connector theres exactly one active encoder. The possible
linking is n:m. I've clarified this.

All other suggestions applied, thanks.

I'll give it a shot at implementing it, but I can't (easily at least) test
on sphinx 1.3.

You can test it with virtualenv  https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/userguide/

In short:

$ cd kernel-src
$ virtualenv myenv
$ source myenv/bin/activate
$ pip install 'Sphinx==1.3.1'
$ make ....

Virtualenv makes that kind of thing pretty easy to do.  Maybe we should
add a script to create and populate a suitable venv for this kind of
thing.

Meanwhile, I've been seeing only parts 1 and 2 of what's clearly a bigger
series.  Do you want me to carry just these two?

Hmm... at least here, building docs-next with Sphinx 1.3.1 inside a
virtualenv is broken:

Hmm... the same happened with 1.4.9 inside virtualenv. It built fine
with 1.5.2 (for htmldocs).

Laurent quickly checked v5 of this patch, looks all good now.

I submitted the entire series to both linux-doc and dri-devel. But
yeah, probably best if you just pull in the first 2 and send me a
topic pull for drm so I can apply the drm stuff on top in drm-misc.

Sure you sent to linux-doc? I'm not seeing it there.

I'm not seeing it at the mirrors neither:

I guess this is a error from newer docutils, so we have to fix docutils version also.

Sphinx itself specifies "docutils>=0.11"

  https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/blob/1.3.1/setup.py#L52

So I guess it uses a up to date docutils or the ducutils which are already installed system wide.

The system-wide docutils is this one:

	python2-docutils-0.13.1-3.fc25.noarch
	python3-docutils-0.13.1-3.fc25.noarch

Btw, I tested also with virtualenv-3/pip3 and the same issue happens there.


Manually installing version 0.11 makes it to work again.

Considering that Sphinx require a specific docutils package for it to
work, perhaps it is time for us to consider to use the virtenv
enchantments at make docs targets :-p

Sorry my mistake, in the traceback we see

File "/devel/v4l/patchwork/myenv-1.4/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docutils/writers/_html_base.py", line 671, in depart_document
  assert not self.context, 'len(context) = %s' % len(self.context)

... which means: system wide installation does not matter.

Yes, its only about "docutils>=0.11" in Sphinx 1.3 dependencies. 
In Sphinx 1.5 the error:

  https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/3212

is fixed:

  https://github.com/tk0miya/sphinx/commit/73663f63672f22304810ce6bb9787490ad250127

But this will never be fixed downwards.

All this is about semantic versioning. If you want to promise your
builds, you have to name which versions of dependencies you support.
I guess this is nothing new for kernel developers ;)

The problem is, that PEP440 defines not only ONE version scheme

 """Some hard to read version identifiers are permitted by
    this scheme in order to better accommodate the wide range
    of versioning practices across existing public and private
    Python projects."""

In practice, the python projects use slightly different schemes
which not follow one rule like <main>.<compatible feature>.<patch> 
From history packaging in Python is the hell, it becomes better, but
the problem with slightly different version schemes still exist.

How can this info help us? Now we know, that we have to stick Sphinx
and docutils by patch-levels we are willing to support. Or with
your words ....

This is very easy, if we use a requiremts.txt file where we 
stick the versions and run the sphinx in this build in a
virtualenv which is build up by this requirements.txt.

  https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#requirements-files

To summarize, I recommend a Makefile.sphinx cmd which does
something like:

  virtualenv output/myenv
  source output/myenv/bin/activate
  pip install -r requirements.txt
  sphinx-build ...
  
I guess this is something we should discuss with Jon, he
is also familiar with it virtualenv.

That would perhaps make the build more reliable, but it would also make
the build dependent on net access to PyPI, and that's not an idea I like a
whole lot.  We should be able to do a build without going out on the
network.

I'm kind of pressed for time, but will try to ponder on this more
shortly...

Right, there are PROS and CONS. Another point is where to place
the virtualenv. In my example above it is placed in output/ with
I’am not really happy.

My recommendation are mostly from a python developer POV, which is
sometimes diametral to what kernel development needs. You now both
POV in deep so I’am hopeful that you find the right conceptual
answers for those open questions ;)

Crap. This kind of patch should be backported to Sphinx 1.3/1.4,
or Python's PIP repository should be fixed to require docutils
version to be either 0.11 or 0.12, if one installs version 1.3
or 1.4 of Sphinx.

The way it is, PIP repository is broken!

No. At the Kernel, we do everything possible to not break APIs.

If this were not the case, you wouldn't be able to run Sphinx 1.5 
with legacy Kernel versions ;-)

IMHO, the way Python and python libraries break compatibility is crazy.

Good packaging sense says that, if APIs can break on every single new
release (with seems to be the case of docutils), then a package
depending on such bad-developed library should require the exact
version(s) it is known to work.

When we're discussing about the docs toolchain, I mentioned that I
was afraid that the Python development model would cause this sort
of issues. Unfortunately, it seems that my concerns were pertinent :-(

Yeah, making kernel build to depend on network can be a problem.

Maybe one way would be to have a sort of "prepare" script that
would be network-dependent, and will install whatever needed to
build the docs. If called, make *docs will use the virtualenv.
Otherwise, it would print a warning message saying that the doc
build is not reliable, but would try to use whatever installed
on the machine.

Mauro

Sorry I was not precise. I was talking about third tools dependencies
and that this is well handled by the kernel ;)

I can only repeat myself, the main problem is, that PEP440 allows
multiple version schemes. Instead of one scheme 

 <main>.<compatible feature>.<patch>

Every project use a slightly different scheme and others
do not care about any scheme.

Not really ;) .. you are tend to mix at least three parts

1. Python
2. Python packaging
3. Sphinx developers who do not stick there depencies

But you are right, when you say that in all parts some confusion
prevail. E.g.

1. Python 2 to 3 movement has been done reckless
--> in the meantime we have https://pythonhosted.org/six/

2. Python packaging is a mess (setup-tools, distutils, pip, easy_install ..) 
--> in the meantime we have PyPA who brings us more structure (https://www.pypa.io/en/latest)

3. Developer using Python
--> we all have a learn curve and making errors all days long. 
    But this should not stop us from continue :)

Could be a workaround. May Jon has continuative ideas, nothing
we have to solve today ... give Jon some time.

It doesn't have to be that way...  The LWN site is a Python application
that has been running since 2002 without any significant issues of this
type, despite having some significant external dependencies.  There is
nothing inherent in Python that creates this kind of mess, it's really
just a matter of having the same discipline that you need when writing a
library in any other language.

It would appear that this discipline is severely lacking in the docutils
camp in particular.

One way kids these days handle such issues is to just bundle up all the
dependencies they are about and ship their own copies.  This isn't just
Python; see https://lwn.net/Articles/712318/ for some much worse
examples.  But I don't think we want to do that.

There does not appear to be an ideal solution here.  I wonder if we want
do to something like this:

 - Put in a little test program to verify that the build system has
   versions of sphinx and docutils that play well together.

 - Add a script to create a working combination in a virtualenv for
   people who need it.  If the build process sees one of those in place,
   it should use it.

I feel pretty strongly that the build should *not* just go off and do the
virtualenv thing automatically.  We should not be fetching and installing
external software on somebody's system, even in a contained environment,
without an explicit request to do so.

Look for a grumpy article on your favorite news site in the relatively
near future...:)

It seems that Sphinx maintainers don't care enough to avoid those
issues either.

Yeah, the direction they're taken is, IMHO, a bad idea.

I wrote something like that some time ago, meant to build the media
drivers on legacy Kernels:
	https://git.linuxtv.org/media_build.git/tree/build

Perhaps some of the ideas there could be used on such script. The logic
there identifies the distribution, via either lsb or by reading some
files at /etc:

	$system_release = qx(lsb_release -d) if which("lsb_release");
	$system_release =~ s/Description:\s*// if ($system_release);
	$system_release = catcheck("/etc/system-release") if !$system_release;
	$system_release = catcheck("/etc/redhat-release") if !$system_release;
	$system_release = catcheck("/etc/lsb-release") if !$system_release;
	$system_release = catcheck("/etc/gentoo-release") if !$system_release;
	$system_release = catcheck("/etc/issue") if !$system_release;
	$system_release =~ s/\s+$//;

and presents distro-specific commands and package names:

	sub give_hints()
	{

		# Distro-specific hints
		if ($system_release =~ /Red Hat Enterprise Linux/) {
			give_redhat_hints;
			return;
		}
		if ($system_release =~ /Fedora/) {
			give_redhat_hints;
			return;
		}
		if ($system_release =~ /Ubuntu/) {
			give_ubuntu_hints;
			return;
		}
	...

I guess your idea would be to run such test program if someone calls make
with htmldocs target, right? It will still need to check also for the
LaTex packages needed for Math symbols support.

It could make sense to also run it for pdfdocs, although the LaTex
dependencies for it can be harder for us to identify.

Makes sense. The test program could present both alternatives to the
user (manually install required packages or run the virtualenv
creation script).

Agreed.

Sounds good :-)

Just to avoid confusion: Markus&I chatted a bit in private, and he
volunteered to take over, and fix the few issues that need to be fixed in
his original patch:
- drop the convertsvg python fallback, since we need convert anyway
- relative paths
- stderr fwd
- and the small polish I noticed in docs

I think with my blind hacking I botched the job too much :-)

Anyway, still hoping we could land this for 4.12, I really want the
drm-side doc improvements this provides ...

Thanks, Daniel
