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.
