[gentoo-user] how to maintain and successfully compile inn

[John Covici]

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

The error I get is:
 * ERROR: net-nntp/inn-2.6.3::local_ebuilds failed (depend phase):
  *   No supported implementation in PYTHON_COMPAT.
   *
    * Call stack:
     *                 ebuild.sh, line 609:  Called source
     *                 '/usr/local/portage/net-nntp/inn/inn-2.6.3.ebuild'

	  *    python-utils-r1.eclass, line 156:  Called die
	   * The specific snippet of code:
	    *                      die "No supported implementation in
     *                 PYTHON_COMPAT."
	 
I still have python 2.7 probably because of issues in building
chrome, so how do I fix things to keep portage happy and what should I
do going forward  because I obviously don't want to depend on
python2.7 for actually running things.

I have mailman which I have to do something about as well, so I will
have to use their new ecosystem or switch to another mailing list
manager.

Thanks for any advice and thoughts on this subject.
