building the docs is much slower than the previous release. It looks like it is only using one core. will push tag after ci checks on 1.2x are green. (I did a dummy release on Saturday so hopefully no changes that would cause the docs not to build)

[simonjayhawkins]

ci checks completed on 1.2.x but since Travis job took a while the doc build is now at 87% so will wait a little and check the docs before pushing tag.

[jorisvandenbossche]

building the docs is much slower

Ah, yes, we should maybe have included #40761 (comment) for the 1.2.4 release... Otherwise @simonjayhawkins you can also pin the pydata-sphinx-theme to version 0.5.2 instead of using the latest (which is 0.6.0 right now)

[simonjayhawkins]

docs built and uploaded. will add 1.2.5 milestone #40761

@jorisvandenbossche I recall some issue with caching on the web server in the past. the docs are OK at https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/1.2.4/ but don't look right at https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/

does this sort itself out or some action needed?

conda-forge/pandas-feedstock#110 (comment)

pypy build on drone completed in around 30 mins here on this PR but was killed at the hour mark on the commit.

I can't see where on the drone console where the job can be restarted @jorisvandenbossche @jreback @TomAugspurger
