dependency on retiring spatial infrastructure packages #54

Open rsbivand opened 1 year ago

rsbivand commented 1 year ago

You will be aware, for example from: https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/04/12/evolution.html, https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/12/14/evolution2.html, https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/04/10/evolution3.html and https://rsbivand.github.io/csds_jan23/bivand_csds_ssg_230117.pdf and perhaps view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlpjIqTPMCA&list=PLzREt6r1NenmWEidssmLm-VO_YmAh4pq9&index=1 that rgdal, rgeos and maptools will be retired this year, in October 2023.

muHVT imports 'rgeos' using rgeos::intersect found by pkgapi, not in NAMESPACE, lines 23, 36 in R/Corrected_Tessellations.R. The use of rgeos::intersect was a work-around the licence problems in gpclib, so I'm unsure whether the geos package is a good match, but is probably closest. If you need to copy code from rgeos as a wrapper to geos, please do so, but you also use sp::point.in.polygon (not retiring but not actively maintained), so you may want to review your approach. Anyway, please fix the rgeos dependency best by June, latest October 2023 to avoid CRAN checks failing.

@Somya.Shambhawi @musigma-admin See also https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/05/15/evolution4.html. I see positive changes appearing in the repository, please ask if help is needed to remove retiring packages. Less than three months remain.

Hi Roger, Thanks for your attention to the repository! We've have gone through your 4th evolution report and removed all the retiring packages. If you have any other suggestions or need further assistance, please drop a note here.

rsbivand commented 1 year ago

@Somya545 Good to hear. Please tidy up the remaining (non-r-spatial problems) and release after August 7 but before October.

rsbivand commented 11 months ago

@Somya545 Please submit to CRAN as soon as possible, less than three weeks remain

@Somya545 R spatial infrastructure packages maptools, rgdal and rgeos will be archived by CRAN on Monday, October 16, 2023. Your package does not pass CMD check when these packages are not available. Expect your package to be archived by CRAN October 17-18 as CRAN checks feed through and your package fails, if not updated by Monday, October 16, 2023.

No grace period is anticipated, as you have had sufficient time to update your package to remove dependencies on maptools, rgdal and/or rgeos.
