We are missing documentation for aborted-session in the in-tree documentation (in main-ping.rst).

I'm not seeing it listed with the reasons here:
https://ci.mozilla.org/job/mozilla-central-docs/Tree_Documentation/

... even though there is:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/telemetry/docs/main-ping.rst#10

It appears that the documentation is not getting built correctly since March 19th (https://ci.mozilla.org/job/mozilla-central-docs/) and the doc changes landed on the 24th.

That's an extract from the first failing build:

" 0:51.76 configure: error: Only GCC 4.7 or newer supported
 0:51.76 *** Fix above errors and then restart with\
 0:51.77                "/usr/bin/make -f client.mk build"
 0:51.77 make: *** [configure] Error 1

I am not quite sure where this should go.
mgerva, maybe you know who owns this?

Try https://gecko.readthedocs.org/.

Fixing ci.mozilla.org will require updating the Ubuntu base image in tools/docs/Vagrantfile.

When `mach build-docs` was first implemented, we needed a full `mach configure` to run it. That requirement vanished in bug 1091722. However, the job in ci.mozilla.org was still running `mach configure`. And, when the minimum GCC version was recently bumped past what was installed in the VM, the job broke.

I have removed `mach configure` from the Jenkins job configuration. The job is now working again. So calling this resolved.

FWIW, the scripts to do the docs building should really be checked into tree. I'm pretty sure there's a bug on that somewhere.
