Log message: Introduce mail/getmail5, a rename of mail/getmail per discussion [1]. Rationale: original getmail (now getmail5) was forked years ago to implement Python 3 support and got named getmail6. Modifications have never been pulled up to the original project; which is considered unmaintained as it has not seen work since 2021 and still requires Python 2 to work. All other package managers ended up considering getmail6 as the next iteration of original getmail, however this was never recognized as such by getmail maintainer. We do not pick sides here and provide both in tree. getmail5 ought to go if we ever remove Python 2 from pkgsrc altogether. [1] https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2025/09/01/msg041927.html |
