Sphinx problem with building dbs server

[yuyiguo]

Applied the PR 649 , I assumed doc generation was disabled. I was able to build dbs3-pycurl-clientpy3 without generating doc, however I got below errors while building dbs server dbs3py3.

The action "build-cms+dbs3py3+3.16.1000" was not completed successfully because Failed to build dbs3py3. Log file in /build/yuyi/w/BUILD/slc7_amd64_gcc630/cms/dbs3py3/3.16.1000/log. Final lines of the log file:

Any ideas? @amaltaro @todor-ivanov @mapellidario

[klannon]

Isn't that PR only to make the client build? I don't think there's been any attempt at dealing with the server. Remember, this is just needed to provide a Py3 environment in which WMCore can run so that we can complete the Py3 migration of WMCore.

[todor-ivanov]

You are absolutely correct @klannon. The doc generation needs to be disabled at any place where it is initiated in the the server setup code too. The PR mentioned by @yuyiguo is only related to the client setup script.

@todor-ivanov @klannon
The setup file that the PR 649 touched controls entire DBS code building? So I thought that would disable all doc generation. I may miss something here.

@amaltaro @mapellidario, how you guys handle wmcore doc generation in py3?

[yuyiguo]

It was wmcore trying to generated docs.
python3 setup.py build_system -s wmc-web --skip-docs stopped the doc generating.

[todor-ivanov]

Thanks @yuyiguo for providing that useful command above. It is good to know we have such an alternative.
