Jonathan Corbet 0bbc2548ea Merge branch 'pre-install' into docs-mw
Mauro says:

that's the second version of the patch series which converts
sphinx-pre-install to Python.

The core patches are basically the same as on v1, but it has lots of
fixes over the original script after testing sphinx-install on 22
distros.

Please notice that I have a separate patch series addressing issues
that are specific to PDF generation.

Test Results Summary:
====================

  PASSED - AlmaLinux release 9.6 (Sage Margay) (4 tests)
  PASSED - Amazon Linux release 2023 (Amazon Linux) (4 tests)
  PASSED - Arch Linux (4 tests)
  PASSED - CentOS Stream release 9 (4 tests)
  PASSED - Debian GNU/Linux 12 (4 tests)
  PASSED - Devuan GNU/Linux 5 (4 tests)
  PASSED - Fedora release 42 (Adams) (4 tests)
  PASSED - Gentoo Base System release 2.17 (4 tests)
  PASSED - Kali GNU/Linux 2025.2 (4 tests)
  PASSED - Mageia 9 (4 tests)
  PASSED - Linux Mint 22 (4 tests)
  PASSED - openEuler release 25.03 (4 tests)
  PARTIAL - OpenMandriva Lx 4.3 (4 tests)
	ensurepip package doesn't exist there. So, venv install failed.
	Installed via package worked
  PASSED - openSUSE Leap 15.6 (4 tests)
  PASSED - openSUSE Tumbleweed (4 tests)
  PASSED - Oracle Linux Server release 9.6 (4 tests)
  FAILED - Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.10 (Ootpa) (4 tests)
	I couldn't test properly, as it requires a repository under
	paywall. I suspect It should work fine
  PARTIAL - Rocky Linux release 8.9 (Green Obsidian) (4 tests)
	Install via package didn't work. Instaling via venv works.
  PASSED - Rocky Linux release 9.6 (Blue Onyx) (4 tests)
  PARTIAL - Springdale Open Enterprise Linux release 9.2 (Parma) (4 tests)
	Failed to install ImageMagick (affects pdf only)
  PASSED - Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (4 tests)
  PASSED - Ubuntu 25.04 (4 tests)

In short, I expect that, for all the above, the script will properly
recommend the right packages to have sphinx-build working.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
