kwm@, can you please help with USES "iconv:wchar_t"/"iconv" - you added it in commit https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=36b017c5ac6549ffa2431727f6f095fcbdf705ad
and in commit https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=0bebae225ad1901ebffa99412280f31336255319
Do we need it now?
It build and run fine, but I don't know how to test this.

Please go ahead with this. My I currently don't have the time to spend on FreeBSD.

Please please make sure that this doesn't break the current shell and other users. I would consider gjs a core port that should be upgraded together with shell and other users.

Please don't forget to also bump ports that use evolution-data-server. We still do that right? I'm a bit out of date with the current port rules.

LGTM

The machine-id file is already being created when the dbus service starts. It makes no sense to try to create it during installation. The only potentially interesting thing could be to try to remove the file on dbus deinstallation, but I am not going to pursue this.

If you want to maintain it feel free to grab it. Yes this is something I noticed in the past too, that they don't release very often.

Add qt plugin into the framework.
Make it includeable via the USE_GSTREAMER1 macro.

This porters-handbook chapter needs to be updated/rewritten, maybe there are other bits elsewhere in the porters-handbook that also need attention.
