Log:
graphics/skencil: mark deprecated
This is quite old project being abandoned: last release was in year 2010. It's
code base relying on stale libraries and in fact it was removed from most of
the distributions. Users should switch to graphics/inkscape or another mature
vector editor. There is also Skencil's fork - sK1 [1] that is actively
developing, but that we have not in ports tree yet. There is also some story
behind the fork [2].
Not sure if this a problem of this app in gnome3 environment, or some general
failure, I wasn't able to add simple text label to the canvas getting this
everywhere:
"""
EditSelection.GetObjectMethod: editor <Sketch.Graphics.selection.EditorWrapper
instance at 0x80a128560> is not compatible
with class skencil.Sketch.Graphics.text.CommonTextEditor
"""
Mark this deprecated and set expiration date to 2015-08-08.
