Created attachment 652778 [details] ebuild for net-mail/libpst-0.6.75 Since version 0.6.73, libpst supports Python 3. This is an updated ebuild for the latest available version, 0.6.75.
Thanks, CFuga. Would also hate to see this package go (even without the python support the tools are quite useful to me)

Thanks. It'd be easier for me if you submitted this as a Github PR, but this is not mandatory. I also need you to post a GCO signoff in a comment (or in a PR if you choose to do that).

I encountered the following when building libpst-0.6.75 with PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_7 ): checking for python3.9... no checking for python3.8... python3.8 checking for main in -lpython3.8... yes results of the Python check: Binary: python3.8 Library: python3.8 Include Dir: /usr/include/python3.8 checking for python3.8... /usr/bin/python3.7 checking for a version of Python >= '2.1.0'... yes checking for a version of Python 3.8... no configure: error: this package requires Python 3.8. If you have it installed, but it isn't the default Python interpreter in your system path, please pass the PYTHON_VERSION So maybe ebuild should be changed to: PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{8,9} )

If somebody needs the latest (currently 0.6.76), I'll try to keep it in my pklain overlay[1] and if I get to use it often enough I may get it under proxy maintenance. I compiled and did a quick test with a large PST, so far it seems to work (and no patches seem to be needed). [1] https://github.com/thinrope/pkalin
