https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D248633 Bug ID: 248633 Summary: mail/getmail: uses obsolete python2, fork for python3 available Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: jrm@freebsd.org Reporter: m.bueker@berlin.de Flags: maintainer-feedback?(jrm@freebsd.org) Assignee: jrm@freebsd.org getmail-5.14 depends on python-2.7, and there is no upstream effort to port= to python3. If nothing happens, getmail will soon (EXPIRATION_DATE=3D2020-09-1= 5) fall out of the ports tree without any replacement. Fortunetely, a fork ported to python3 has recently been published. It lives= at: https://github.com/getmail6/getmail6/ The first release (6.02) has just been tagged. I have created a port that compiles, installs and runs on my system (11.4-p2) without problems. I sugg= est that a new port named mail/getmail6 be added to the ports tree, and users encouraged to migrate to it from mail/getmail upon expiration. Please find the Makefile etc attached. As my experience in port maintenance= is very limited, I'd appreciate someone checking on it. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
