polari: configure failure

[himatech]

Hi, I'm trying to install gnome on my Catalina but I'm having a problem with Polari. Here is the output:

In the future, fill in the Port field with the port that fails to build and Cc the port maintainer(s) (port info --maintainers polari).

this is a problem because polari is in the default set of ports for sudo port -v install gnome and now this brings down the whole house of cards. So we should either fix this, if we can, or remove it from the default gnome set until it is fixed.

We ask users to sudo port install gnome (I sent that message out myself to people this morning) and when this crashes it is not great.

for one, polari has been updated to 3.36.3.

however, polari can't be updated until gjs is updated. however gjs can't be updated until mozjs-68 is present, which we don't have.

Perhaps we try taking polari out of gnome for now and see if that gets us back in business...
