Disabling intersphinx for offline builds

[cgmb]

I'm trying to package https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm for Debian as rocm-doc. For this purpose, it's a hard requirement that the build be done without a connection to the internet.

One difficulty I'm having is that even if downloading intersphinx *.inv files is skipped in rocm-docs-core, the MySt plugin will still attempt to download them. Some of the inv files are provided by other doc packages, such as librocrand-doc, which provides /usr/share/doc/librocrand-dev/rocrand-html/objects.inv. It would make sense to direct intersphinx to those files, although, I still need some way to disable the downloading of intersphinx files for libraries that don't have offline *.inv files available.

My understanding is that it is rocm-docs-core that creates this behaviour, so I'm hoping you're able to help me to figure out how to do this build offline.

Hi @cgmb, setting external_projects_remote_repository = "" in conf.py should disable intersphinx fetching.
