Subject: [PATCH 5/5] docs: requirements.txt: recommend Sphinx 1.7.9
Date:   Mon, 27 May 2019 08:07:41 -0300
Message-Id: <2020d45c8f7ed71d5f66ba5d925ecdd81e044a9d.1558955082.git.mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>

As discussed at the linux-doc ML, while we'll still support
version 1.3, it is time to recommend a more modern version.

So, let's switch the minimal requirements to Sphinx 1.7.9,
as it has the "-jauto" flag, with makes a lot faster when
building documentation.
