Bug#537259: O: skencil -- Interactive vector drawing program for X11
Package: wnpp
I'm orphaning skencil due to lack of interest in this package.
This package is, from the debian point of view, in good shape and is
pretty easy, makes it ideal for any New Maintainer. In case a non-DD
maintainer wants to take this package over, I'll offer to sponsor it.
However, skencils upstream has disappeared two years ago and skencil
definitely needs some love upstream wise. Any potential taker should
therefore like to work with tcl/tk. Upstream did start porting to gtk at
some point, however, that disappeared as well.
If there is no new maintainer within about a month, I'm going to
request its removal.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: Interactive vector drawing program for X11
Skencil is an interactive vector drawing program. It currently support
drawing primitives like rectangles, ellipses, Bezier curves, bitmap
(ppm, png, jpg, tiff etc.) and EPS images and text. All objects can be
rotated, scaled and sheared. Primitives can have fill and line
properties. A number of special effects like blend groups, text to
Bezier and text along a path are provided.
Skencil supports an unlimited undo history. Import of XFig, AI (up to
version 8), WMF, CMX and SVG files. Exports to EPS, AI, PDF (with
