basemaps removed from CRAN #27

Hi,

I am using basemaps in my class materials. I have loved this package so far and it makes integrating basemaps into tmap workflow a lot easier.

However, today I found out that basemaps cannot be installed with R CRAN anymore https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/basemaps/index.html. The development version still works, though others issues exist https://github.com/16EAGLE/basemaps/issues/26.

Does it mean the package is abandoned? Is it in the process of updating? If it is the former, I will remove it from my class materials in the future.

Thanks.

Hi,

the package will be back on CRAN soon. I was busy with other work and could not maintain the package for a while. Glad to read you are using the package for teaching.

The current basemaps version on GitHub should work fine, with some changes such as osm_stamen now requiring a map token from Stadia Maps. For your class, you can just use the GitHub version using remotes::install_github("16eagle/basemaps") until CRAN is updated.

Best
