Backport won't be possible, we have older sphinx on older branches.

@andresdelfino I see you a lot on the doc those time, though you would be interested in proofreading this :)

@JulienPalard Sure!

@JulienPalard could you check the comment I made? I believe something is missing.

@andresdelfino Gladly, but, which comment?

@JulienPalard sorry, I thought it was submitted, but I was seeing a draft.

This breaks the minimum version of sphinx listed in Docs/conf.py:

:no-trim-doctest-flags: was added in sphinx 3.2 whereas the minimum version in Docs/conf.py is 1.8: sphinx-doc/sphinx@784e763

@asottile that's right, let's bump this, thanks for noticing!

@JulienPalard there's been additional efforts in this release to maintain compatibility with 1.x so there might be competing opinions here

Ok so let's discuss this futher in an issue. I'm opening it → https://bugs.python.org/issue42843

sounds good -- I only noticed this because it broke the packaging for deadsnakes (on 20.04, 18.04 and 16.04) so I reverted this patch there: deadsnakes/python3.10@f69292e

I only noticed this because it broke the packaging for deadsnakes

Sorry for this :(

no big deal, I'm considering dropping the documentation build since it's ~95% of my maintenance and I'm not sure anybody actually uses it.
