Subject: docs: conf.py: better handle latex documents
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f62ed7688cfe1a09b61776216380b56221a17c5c;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

docs: conf.py: better handle latex documents

The original logic assumed that app.srcdir is identical to the
current working dir. This is the case for a normal build, but,
when SPHINXDIRS="some dir" is used, this is not the case anymore.

Adjust the logic to fill the LaTeX documents considering
app.srcdir, in a way that it will work properly on all cases.
