Please remove dependencies on **rgdal**, **rgeos**, and/or **maptools** #83

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.

If there are no good alternatives for maptools::crepuscule, maptools::sunriset, please raise an issue at https://github.com/r-spatial/evolution/issues asking for the functionality you need to be moved to sp.

@rsbivand thanks for reminder. I have made all requested changes to the amt package. I am waiting for the newest terra version (there was a small bug) and will submit shortly afterwards a new version of amt to CRAN.

Run with sp evolution status 2 and without retiring packages on the library path, I see: 00check.log which I think is not protecting against move having a strong dependency on rgdal. Using:

move_obj <- try(as_move(deer))
if (!inherits(move_obj, "try-error")) print(move_obj)

should resolve that problem, but please do try to reproduce locally, as my CMD check stops at first error.

Looks OK with move 4.2.2, thanks.
