Hi Guix,
The offlineimap3 package is broken in the current version of Guix due
to a longstanding bug in offlineimap3 that makes it incompatible with
Python 3.11 (which is now the default python version in Guix).
For reference, my current Guix version is:
guix 9fbe196
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: 9fbe19661f32270d9e94cbc54905e9d3aafa441b
And `offlineimap -V` reports this information:
offlineimap v8.0.0, imaplib2 v3.06, Python v3.11.11, OpenSSL 3.0.8 7 Feb 2023
It appears that a patch was submitted to the offlineimap3 repository
on Nov 17, 2022 and was merged into the master branch on Dec 5, 2022.
Unfortunately, the offlineimap3 team hasn't cut a new release since
version 8.0.0 (released Oct 18, 2021). Here's the PR for reference:
https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/pull/139
Because I rely on offlineimap3 for reading my email each day, I needed
this fixed ASAP, so I created a new offlineimap3-latest package that
builds the current commit on the master branch.
Here it is for anyone who could also benefit from it:
