Invalid message on just imported / simple repositories

[humitos]

When you create a project in github with just a README.md and import it on RTD, you get this message:

This message is wrong since the PATH of those failes are invalid/useless for the user. I think this is generated by Sphinx automatically, so I'm not sure if we can change that easily.

Where is generated this file? The only relevant file I found is this https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org/blob/master/readthedocs/doc_builder/templates/doc_builder/conf.py.tmpl :/

Maybe passing some additional context?

[humitos]

Not really sure but IIRC this file is generated by Sphinx itself, maybe that it's something that could help you to find out :/

[stsewd]

Found! https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org/blob/master/readthedocs/doc_builder/base.py#L104

So, what should we put on there? Something like this?

Create an index file on your repository (or docs).

[humitos]

Nice!

Please create an ``index.{ext}`` or ``README.{ext}`` file with your own content under the root directory in your repository (or under ``/docs`` directory).

Maybe something like that?

@humitos PR on the way!
