Description François Bissey 2017-07-04 23:43:28 UTC

sphinxcontrib* packages share a namespace "sphinxcontrib" but there is currently no package "dev-python/namespace-sphinxcontrib" to provide or dpend on as specified in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Python/Namespace_packages.

One could think that dev-python/sphinx could provide the namespace but it is not currently the case.

We need a namespace package and migrate to it. The following packages are concerned:
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-asyncio
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-blockdiag
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-cheeseshop
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-doxylink
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-googleanalytics
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-httpdomain
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-issuetracker
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-napoleon
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-newsfeed
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-programoutput
dev-python/sphinxcontrib-spelling

@ Sébastian Fabbro, since you kindly adopted my ebuild from the sage-on-gentoo overlay, I think you should be aware of this bug.

I think all instances of this are fixed already.
