gEDA is actively maintained - the last push to the repository was on 
Monday.  There just hasn't been a release for a long time.

Here's an overview of what changed since the last release: 
https://github.com/rlutz/geda-gaf/blob/master/NEWS

This has last been updated in July; many more recent changes are missing 
from the NEWS file.  I will make it a priority to update it and roll a new 
release in the next week or so; it's long overdue…

Could you please post the messages with which building examples/gTAG 
failed?

There has been an error in the build system, but I thought I had fixed it 
in February.  Maybe I missed something, or maybe your build system was out 
of sync.  (If you didn't make any changes to the repository which you care 
about losing, you can reset the build system with "git clean -xdf && 
./autogen.sh" and then run configure and make again.)

This error occurs if you run gnetlist on a fresh install without having
run gschem before.  (Maybe gschem should just be silently loaded once as
part of the install target?)
