Inkscape 0.92.0 now available on MacPorts

[Murray Eisenberg]

Doing “sudo port deactivate active” would deactivate ALL my active ports, would it not? And given that I have scores active, it would be brutal to reactivate all of them,

I had originally installed inkscape with +quartz, which didn’t work. Then after uninstalling that I installed inkscape +x11, which also didn’t work!

I don’t understand syntax & semantics of:

   sudo port -f deactivate rdepof:inkscape and active

(I don’t find any mention of “rdepof” at guide.macports.org <http://guide.macports.org/>, and I need to be sure that the “and active” there really applies only to whatever it is that would match "rdepof:inkscape”.

I note the output from 

            sudo port installed | grep quartz

is:

  cairo @1.14.8_0+quartz+x11 (active)
  pango @1.40.3_1+quartz+x11 (active)
  tk @8.6.6_0+quartz (active)

And I have a huge number of ports that depend on cairo.

So still question is what to do.
