Welcome to the `sphinxcontrib-packages` documentation
=====================================================
This `sphinx `__ extension provides some directives to
see what tools are available on the compiling machine. I wrote this because I was developing a sphinx extension calling system commands, and I wanted to be able to use is on `readthedocs `__, but I did not know which tools were available there
(and the `Dockerfile `__ is not precise enough).
.. warning::
If your are reading this on `readthedocs `__, keep in mind that those lists are not official. It is not guaranteed that those tools will remain available in the future: they only reflects what was available when this documentation was compiled.
I do not know and I have nothing to do with the `readthedocs `__ team, so I do not know how they choose what to install.
.. warning::
This package was written before `readthedocs `__ started `using Docker `__. Since you can run commands before compilation and install Debian packages, I am not sure how relevant this package is now.
