I got a package that i am about to upload to a local devpi server. I got some issues with the package not being able to find the conf.py file for Sphinx which makes sense as it looks at the (package_name)/docs folder instead of (package_name)/docs/source which i use and also has all the RST files in it. How do i in pyproject.toml configure Devpi to set sphinx source_dir to (package_name)/docs/source?

It could surely be resolved in some way using sys.path.append() and then changing the path of the config but I do wonder about the configuration of this and if it is supported.

In devpi-client version 5.2.3 it should work.
Because the change: "Use sphinx-build command instead of setup.py build_sphinx when building documentation." in version 6.0.0 the upload routine doesn't "recognize" your local dir structure.
But I haven't find out yet how you can propagate arguments to the sphinx-build to specify the docs source dir.

An update on this. It is hardcoded in the devpi-client how it builds the docs. I figured out that the devpi client have already been implemented to support (package_name)/docs/source dir. Next version of devpi-client will include this, but it is still hardcoded to 2 paths and does not allow for putting it differently.
