Cannot install `FishStatsUtils`, `rgdal` package is no longer available #90

Closed jkbest2 closed 1 year ago

jkbest2 commented 1 year ago

The R Spatial folks have been working to modernize their packages for a while (e.g. the move to sf). As part of this they have retired the rgdal, rgeos, and maptools packages. As of today (November 7, 2023) these packages are no longer available on CRAN. FishStatsUtils has rgdal in the Imports section, so it cannot currently be installed. I think that rgdal was taken off CRAN within the last week or two, so I wanted to give you a heads up that you may run into more folks unable to install FishStatsUtils soon.

This appendix to the Spatial Data Science ebook notes that rgdal should still be available from R-Forge, so this is a possible workaround.

Additional information is available in their second and third reports on the migration.

thanks for the reminder. I just made a small correction to remove rgdal from FishStatsUtils on the dev branch (which also removes INLA) and will aim to do a minor version release after assessment season is done in Jan. 2024.
