[Bug 278045] [NEW PORT] deskutils/calendar_cli: Simple command-line CalDav client

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=278045

--- Comment #4 from cos <freebsd.org@fydagy.netizen.se> ---
TL;DR: Yes I think this software is still the relevant one to package, because
it is the version which actually works.

That same section of the README also contains this sentence:

> If you need a production-ready mature command-line utility for accessing your calendar, then this is the right tool ... as for now.

While the author has moved on to use plann instead, he has also publicly
communicated the intent to continue maintaining calendar_cli, and accepts
quality related PR:s (as stated in the same README).

As always, the devil is in the details. In its current state plann is too buggy
to be used for many use cases. I have attempted to migrate. Unlike
calendar_cli, plann confuses different calendars. Depending (likely) on the
server implementation, queries return all events for every calendar (including
a completely different user's shared ones) regardless of filtering. CalDAV is a
complex protocol, for which libraries, clients and servers tend to take quite a
while to mature. Ideally one should debug and fix the new tool, but for now
calendar_cli is the tool best suited for distribution through ports to users
not necessarily prepared to themselves dig into the code straight away.
