Please don't upper-bound the sphinx version

Related to upper-bound limits in

renku-sphinx-theme/setup.py

Lines 51 to 54 in 7f350ab

	install_requires = [
	'Sphinx>=1.6.3,<9.0.0',
	'sphinx-rtd-theme>=0.5.0,<3.1',
	]

If the goal is to test for appropriate support of the version, then please use something like uv.lock which would bump the dependency in the test environment while keeping the metadata support still open.

If the goal is to really make sure that the theme is compatible before shipping a compatible version, please make sure you are keeping up with the dependabot #47 and release in a timely manner.

Hi @LecrisUT , this package is not actively maintained.

[LecrisUT]

I can see. There are multiple actions I have seen in foss projects:

• relax the dependencies completely (and dropping dependabot because that thing is just noise) and switch into maintenance mode (no development just minimum maintenance like accepting simple fixes from community)
• raise a call for maintiner to the community (now would be a good time since many would come here as they are being blocked)
• suggest alternatives to migrate
• nuclear option: archiving the project

Done

[LecrisUT]

Just to understand the future of the project. Are you committing to merging dependabot updates in a timely manner. My suggestion with point 1 was to get rid of the higher-bound altogether.
