I uninstalled meson and python3-sphinx from my F38 host and ran configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu and got this: $ ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu Using './build' as the directory for build output python determined to be '/usr/bin/python3' python version: Python 3.11.3 MKVENV pyvenv Configured python as '/home/berrange/src/virt/qemu/build/pyvenv/bin/python3 -B' MKVENV ensure meson>=0.61.5 WARNING: Skipping /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/virt_firmware-1.5-py3.11.egg-info due to invalid metadata entry 'name' WARNING: Skipping /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/virt_firmware-1.5-py3.11.egg-info due to invalid metadata entry 'name' WARNING: Location 'file:///home/berrange/src/virt/qemu/python/wheels' is ignored: it is neither a file nor a directory.

Sphinx not found/usable, disabling docs. MKVENV ok! It says mkvenv was configured to run offline, but I didn't do anything. I thought the intention was for developers it would live download from PyPI ? On a system where i already have meson/sphinx installed, it all just worked fine AFAICT.
