Dependency on maptools and rgeos

[olivroy]

Do you plan to submit a patch to CRAN before October 16 to avoid archiving the package?

It appears that this is only used in dontrun section of an example, so removing this should be fairly easy. I'm hoping to get a new version of the package to CRAN perhaps as soon as today or tomorrow. It is other things that will determine how long this takes.

@rpruim many thanks for your work on this front: it's greatly appreciated.

New example for gf_sf():

suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(ggformula))
example(gf_sf)
#> 
#> gf_sf> if (requireNamespace('maps', quietly = TRUE)) {
#> gf_sf+ library(maps)
#> gf_sf+ world1 <- sf::st_as_sf(map('world', plot = FALSE, fill = TRUE))
#> gf_sf+ gf_sf(data=world1)
#> gf_sf+ 
#> gf_sf+ world2 <- sf::st_transform(
#> gf_sf+   world1,
#> gf_sf+   "+proj=laea +y_0=0 +lon_0=155 +lat_0=-90 +ellps=WGS84 +no_defs"
#> gf_sf+ )
#> gf_sf+ gf_sf(data = world2)
#> gf_sf+ }

Improved version. Apparently if(){} blocks intermediate graphical output.

suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(ggformula))
example(gf_sf)
#> 
#> gf_sf> if (requireNamespace('maps', quietly = TRUE)) {
#> gf_sf+   library(maps)
#> gf_sf+   world1 <- sf::st_as_sf(map('world', plot = FALSE, fill = TRUE))
#> gf_sf+   gf_sf(data=world1)
#> gf_sf+ }

#> 
#> gf_sf> if (requireNamespace('maps', quietly = TRUE)) {
#> gf_sf+   world2 <- sf::st_transform(
#> gf_sf+     world1,
#> gf_sf+     "+proj=laea +y_0=0 +lon_0=155 +lat_0=-90 +ellps=WGS84 +no_defs"
#> gf_sf+   )
#> gf_sf+   gf_sf(data = world2)
#> gf_sf+ }

@rpruim rgeos and maptools were archived yesterday, so please do move to submit an updated version of ggformula as soon as possible. See https://github.com/r-spatial/evolution https://r-spatial.github.io/evolution/ for details.

Thanks for your note: we are working on the needed updates.

@rsbivand thanks again for your efforts to deal with the archived packages. I spoke with @rpruim about removing the dependencies on ggstance from ggformula and mosaic (see #169): we hope to be able to get updated versions of the Mosaic onto CRAN in the near term.
