this is regarding "documenting.rst":

The url for checking out Sphinx from svn has been outdated for a while, so I think it would be better to refer people to Doc/Makefile for the correct urls, instead of having to keep updating this file on each change. This applies to the other modules in that section (which are currently up-to-date):

* docutils
* jinja2
* Pygments

The outdated command is addressed in issue#12415, and I think it's better to provide a precise command in devguide, so that if you don't use make you don't even need to understand where to grab the information to checkout third-party tools.

Additionally, the whole way we're fetching those tools will be revisited soon.

What are/were your plans ?

I think, the the URLs on this page are correct ( or have been corrected
since the opening of this issue) -
http://hg.python.org/devguide/file/20333d160f4e/documenting.rst
If anything needs to be changed, then a patch would be helpful.
