Comment (by iEFdev):

 Thanks for looking at this. 👍

 Actually, after posting this, and when I started to look at (play with) a
 mock Portfile - I do think think I mean the Google Source. :–) The GitHub
 mirror (I posted first), doesn't seem to “mirror” anything (as in getting
 updates pushed from another source). So, this one seems to be the proper
 source: https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/+/refs/tags/v2.0.0 (latest
 tag/version)

 I looks very active to me, and it should be good to use, since we use
 Google Source for other ports. I made a PR to update
 [changeset:9d877461a4df46abb6bb1dedc4fe62d0b6ce6ba9/macports-ports
 `libvpx`] which uses Google Source as well – and without having a deeper
 look at it, it looks like the [https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/blob/master/multimedia/libvpx/Portfile Portfile] for `libvpx` maybe
 could be used as a “template” for this?

 [sidenote/half OT]: Apple joined AOM a couple of years ago:
 -   https://bitmovin.com/apple-joins-av1-codec-consortium/
 -   https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-online-video-compression-av1/

 So, if Apple are about to put this in future software – maybe we also need
 it for older systems, to be able to at least play videos made with newer
 software (ie compat). ''Just a thought…''
