1 Hi. I see that inn is no longer in the tree and I have a local ebuild
2 for inn2.6.3, but it won't work because of the following line
3 PYTHON_COMPAT=( python2_7 )

5 The error I get is:
6 * ERROR: net-nntp/inn-2.6.3::local_ebuilds failed (depend phase):
7 * No supported implementation in PYTHON_COMPAT.
8 *
9 * Call stack:

27 I still have python 2.7 probably because of issues in building
28 chrome, so how do I fix things to keep portage happy and what should I
29 do going forward because I obviously don't want to depend on
30 python2.7 for actually running things.
31
32 I have mailman which I have to do something about as well, so I will
33 have to use their new ecosystem or switch to another mailing list
34 manager.

36 Thanks for any advice and thoughts on this subject.
