Please remove dependencies on **rgdal**, **rgeos**, and/or **maptools** #77

Closed rsbivand closed 1 year ago

rsbivand commented 1 year ago

This package depends on (depends, imports or suggests) raster and one or more of the retiring packages rgdal, rgeos or maptools (https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/04/12/evolution.html, https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/12/14/evolution2.html). Since raster 3.6.3, all use of external FOSS library functionality has been transferred to terra, making the retiring packages very likely redundant. It would help greatly if you could remove dependencies on the retiring packages as soon as possible.

May relate to #64

Thanks @rsbivand! This is top of my list when I able to carve out some maintenance time. I think I can get to it early in 2023. Same applies to https://github.com/jhollist/lakemorpho/issues/18 and https://github.com/jhollist/quickmapr/issues/26

Status in recent check log from running under _SP_EVOLUTION_STATUS_=2 without retiring r-spatial packages on the library path: 00check.log 00check.log 00check.log

FYI, working on this now... Hope to have dev version finished up. Will push to CRAN once I have contacted maintainers for rev depends...

rsbivand commented 1 year ago

0.4.5 still has rgdal suggested - with sp 2.0-0 this is no longer needed, and sf is already imported, so sp will use sf instead. When rgdal is gone, and maybe terra added to Suggests:, this should be OK after October.

Just submitted a new version to CRAN. Made switch to sf and terra. Current version still returns a RasterLayer, but will move towards sf and terra only in upcoming releases. rgdal and sp no longer used. I think I should be good for after October now.

And a quick thank you for all you have done for R Spatial! I can't fully express how grateful I am for your contributions to the community!

Version 0.99.0 is now on CRAN and should take care of these issues!
