docs: Fix the docs build with Sphinx 6.0

2023-01-18T10:30:51Z

commit 0283189e8f3d0917e2ac399688df85211f48447b upstream. Sphinx 6.0 removed the execfile_() function, which we use as part of the configuration process. They *did* warn us... Just open-code the functionality as is done in Sphinx itself. Tested (using SPHINX_CONF, since this code is only executed with an alternative config file) on various Sphinx versions from 2.5 through 6.0.

doc-rst: generic way to build only sphinx sub-folders

2016-08-14T17:51:51Z

Add a generic way to build only a reST sub-folder with or without a individual *build-theme*. * control *sub-folders* by environment SPHINXDIRS * control *build-theme* by environment SPHINX_CONF Folders with a conf.py file, matching $(srctree)/Documentation/*/conf.py can be build and distributed *stand-alone*. E.g. to compile only the html of 'media' and 'gpu' folder use:: make SPHINXDIRS="media gpu" htmldocs To use an additional sphinx-build configuration (*build-theme*) set the name of the configuration file to SPHINX_CONF. E.g. to compile only the html of 'media' with the *nit-picking* build use:: make SPHINXDIRS=media SPHINX_CONF=conf_nitpick.py htmldocs With this, the Documentation/conf.py is read first and updated with the configuration values from the Documentation/media/conf_nitpick.py.
