Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-gnome mailing list
<gnome at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 238743: devel/pydbus-common: Fix HTMLDOCS build
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238743



--- Description ---
It seems that pydbus-common no longer uses sphinx-build executable to generate
documentation. Instead, it requires sphinx python module to work.

Since FreeBSD has switched the default python version to 3.6, pydbus-common
HTMLDOCS option no longer works because it doesn't specify the flavor of sphinx
it needs. pydbus-common explicitly requests python 2.7, but py36-sphinx is
installed chosen because it is the default version.
