building sage-doc (html docs)

[strogdon]

The first item is probably cosmetic but I'm curious as to the origin.

• The terminal output is now very disorderly. This has been present for several betas now where certain output lines seem to be preceded by multiple tabs.

• I'm now seeing multiple KeyErrors when building the docs. These errors prevent Sage from starting

$ sage
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.11/sage-config", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(_main())
             ^^^^^^^

    stdout.write('{}\n'.format(d[args.VARIABLE]))
                               ~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

With the KeyErrors sage will start with the above.

The sage-doc build thing started with either the latest furo or sphinx 7.1. I do not remember which one. I enabled them almost at the same time.

The keyerror stuff is new and I have not noticed it. Will inspect ASAP.

[strogdon]

I thought sphinx was maybe the reason but I hadn't noticed the furo upgrade. I'm now using furo-2023.9.10.

[kiwifb]

The previous version of furo was causing trouble and would not work with sphinx 7.1.

OK, a "good" action never goes unpunished. As a simplification of the stuff I do to sage-conf, I have let it install the sage-config executable. It is executed by the sage start up script when found and it is the cause of the complaints. I will make it disappear again.

keyerror fixed by 36e2916, sync and rebuild sage-conf. The offending messages should go away.

Looks good here.
