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.

I was asking this question on the package I use but it looks Marc moved to another Institution. I hope he will look at thise post and update this interesting package. Maybe also someone from the Group. Maybe Roger can suggest a way to use sf, terra and stars instead, to make the package work with these packages.

@lemuscanovas @dominicroye @fipoucat is correct: when maptools and rgeos retire in less than three months, this package will fail CRAN tests because suggested packages are no longer available. With this DESCRIPTION file: DESCRIPTION.zip

I get this log file from _R_CHECK_SUGGESTS_ONLY_=true R_LIBS=/home/rsb/lib/r_libs _SP_EVOLUTION_STATUS_=2 R CMD check synoptReg_1.2.1.tar.gz 00check.log Looks like a stale DESCRIPTION file, one of the pitfalls of trusting roxygen; please check what happens if roxygen is re-run. The time to act has come!

Dear all, Thank you for your messages. I will proceed to update the package during the following weeks. Marc

@lemuscanovas synoptReg was archived on CRAN as your maintainer email bounced, please update!

maptools and rgeos were archived three days ago, so please do move to submit an updated version of synoptReg as soon as possible, with your new email. See https://github.com/r-spatial/evolution https://r-spatial.github.io/evolution/ for details.
