Upgrade Sphinx version on Conda

[ericholscher]

Blocked on #2713 -- we should upgrade our conda version of sphinx_rtd_theme and sphinx to match our virtualenv versions.

[humitos]

sphinx_rtd_theme was already updated in conda forge at conda-forge/sphinx_rtd_theme-feedstock#6

sphinx is still blocked because of windows version at conda-forge/sphinx-feedstock#10

[humitos]

Finally, the issue with sphinx in conda-forge was fixed conda/conda-build#1845, although the Windows version is still with an issue, conda-forge/sphinx-feedstock#16 but I think it doesn't affect us.

A simple environment.yml example working:

name: sphinx-test

channels:
  - conda-forge
  - default

dependencies:
  - python=3.6
  - sphinx=1.5.3
  - sphinx_rtd_theme=0.2.4

[humitos]

Closing this one since dependencies for conda are not pinned anymore after 4c796871 got merged.

@humitos I'm running into an issue on readthedocs as I need a specific version of sphinx but the subsequent conda install mock pillow sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme upgrades the sphinx that I require in my environment yaml file. How do I fix the version of sphinx

@wkerzendorf maybe you want to check #3829
