gh: add python39-tomli Cygwin package for Sphinx 7.4 - #697
Merged
Conversation
Cygwin updated python39-sphinx from 4.4.0 to 7.4.7. On Python < 3.11,
Sphinx 7.4 imports the tomli module but the Cygwin package does not
declare python39-tomli as a dependency, so the documentation build now
fails on every Windows CI job:
Could not import extension sphinx.builders.changes (exception: No
module named 'tomli')
Explicitly install python39-tomli alongside the other Sphinx dependencies
already listed. The python39-docutils=0.18.1-1 pin is kept as Sphinx 7.4.7
builds the man and text documentation fine with this docutils version.
Also fix the misspelled python39-sphinxcontrib-jsmath package name on the
native-cmd and native-pwsh jobs, which silently skipped its installation.
