[Contrib: Evaluation System] Updating evals to build against 2.6

[Nicola Monat-Jacobs]

Matthew -

That would be great! I'm aiming to get a RC2 for the next version of EvalSys tagged around Aug 16th. We don't have many hard deadlines for this EvalSys work, but at the very least, I'd love to have this issue resolved by the end of August. Although sooner would be good too! :)
