 This is a port of the Calligra Suite project, the recently release version
 2.9.0 .

 https://www.calligra.org/

 It is the successor to KOffice (KDE Office) and provides an alternative to
 the monolithic "bureautics" suites like OpenOffice and LibreOffice. I
 personally find it comparable, interface-wise, to Apple iWork 09 . It also
 provides a PhotoShop alternative (Krita), an Adobe Illustrator/Inkscape
 alternative (Karbon), a database application loosely inspired by Filemaker
 (Kexi) and a few other goodies like Braindump.
 The applications install into /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/Calligra-Suite .

 I have provided several variants to control the components that get
 installed. +office will install the OS X product set provided by the
 Calligra team, which basically provides the usual wordprocessing,
 spreadsheet, presentation etc. components. `+all` builds the full suite,
 while the main port only installs the creative components (Krita, Karbon),
 the database app (Kexi) and Braindump. Those are the components I think
 have the least open source alternatives that run natively on OS X.

 The default variant (main port) was chosen for 2 reasons: 1) install
 footprint and 2) an issue that currently exists affects Karbon and
 CalligraFlow which each launch like the other (i.e. launching Karbon gives
 CalligraFlow and vice versa).

 Caveat emptor: this port depends on a considerable number of ports of
 which I'm not sure they're already committed or even submitted here. Don't
 hesitate to inform me which ones do not have a trac ticket yet.
