I've been using "getmail" for years to pull down email from multiple |
2 |
popmail accounts and pass the emails to procmail for processing. It's |
3 |
being masked because of hard-coded python 2.7 dependancy. "fetchmail" |
4 |
looks promising. The stable version net-mail/fetchmail-6.4.1 also |
5 |
requires python 2.7 *IF THE "tk" FLAG IS SET*. |
6 |
|
7 |
PYTHON_COMPAT=( python2_7 ) |
8 |
PYTHON_REQ_USE="tk" |
9 |
|
10 |
Version 6.4.6 says... |
11 |
|
12 |
PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{6,7,8} ) |
13 |
PYTHON_REQ_USE="tk" |
14 |
|
15 |
...and agin it seems to only be required if built with "tk" flag. Once |
16 |
fetchmail version 6.4.6 is marked stable, python should not be a problem, |
17 |
and I don't expect to build with the "tk" flag anyways. |
18 |
|
19 |
Would "fetchmail" work as a drop-in replacement for getmail here? Are |
20 |
there any better, simpler solutions? |
