------------------------+--------------------------------
 Years ago, I was active with macports and had a login (in
 fact I still have a wiki page https://trac.macports.org/wiki/gwhitney),
 but it's been so long I'm not really up to speed on how to contribute
 ports directly any longer, and I don't even know how to log in as the
 "macports me" any more.

 But I recently had an interest in getting Evolution, the classic gnome
 email/calendar/addressbook app, running on my mac running El Capitan.
 The attached Portfile and patches worked; they are heavily based on Dave
 Evans'
 evolution-data-server port. If it would be helpful to get me back up to
 speed as a maintainer to move this along, feel free to point me in the
 right direction.

 Some notes:
    * some of the patches were for the sake of running with gnome-autoar,
 but I eventually punted on that because the gnome-autoar api has changed
 considerably since evolution 3.20.5 was released (and that's the version
 of evolution-data-server in Dave Evans' port, and evolution has to match
 that). When evolution updates, likely the gnome-autoar support can be
 re-enabled (and I would be happy to give that a try at that point).

    * I patched both configure and configure.ac in parallel, but since
 this build does not run autogen, the patches to configure.ac are not
 strictly necessary.  But it seemed worthwhile to submit the configure.ac
 patches anyway, in case anyone working on this at any point wants to run
 autogen

    Let me know what (else) I can do to (help) make this evolution port
 available to anyone who happens to be interested.

    Best regards, Glen
