getmail and Fedora 32

This is just quick heads-up for those of you running the RedHat Fedora
distro or its siblings.

Last night I moved my house server from F31 to F32 via an in-situ
upgrade. All worked as expected except that the getmail package has
vanished, I think this is due to all except minimal support being
withdrawn from Python 2.

I first tried downloading and installing Charles' version 5.14 since the
Python versions looked about right, but setup.py refused to run due to
syntax errors: not being a Python programmer I moved on rather than
fixing it.

So, I signed up with GitHub and downloaded getmail v 6.03, which
compiled and installed without any problems at all. The only gotcha was
that, with its default install being in /usr/local/bin so cron script I
use to run getmail couldn't find it. I fixed that by making the path
explicit - /usr/local/bin/getmail - which let it run without any issues
and with no changes needed to .getmail/getmailrc either.

FWIW this configuration retrieves mail with a MultidropPOP3Retriever and
delivers it to to mail queues via a MultiSorter feeding two MDA_external
output streams, one carrying a small volume of small messages to a
dedicated mail queue feeding an overnight process for while everything
else goes to Postfix for distribution. 

So far mail has been delivered to mailboxes in /var/spool/mail via both
output streams: I've been able to read mail from the busy general
purpose stream and expect the same will be true for the other special
purpose other stream, its consumer runs overnight.

So, a good job done by all involved.

Thanks,
Martin
