need help, ping me - interested to explore this package 😇
Thanks, Mike! Any help very welcome, it would be a shame if some maintainers saw their work archived from lack of response. I'll try to copy in the recent email when I find it.
This was the email (April 10):
animaltracker has strong dependence on at least one of rgdal
, rgeos
or
maptools
, as I pointed out last year. 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

mAh4pq9&index=1 that rgdal
, rgeos
and maptools
will be retired this
year, in October 2023. No update has reached CRAN yet, not any response to
my earlier email. I suggest that you take active steps to update your
package, specifically migrating to terra at (or before) your earliest
convenience.
Best wishes,

Dear Maintainer,
animaltracker 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.Best wishes,
Thank you, Mike and Roger. This is our first time developing an R package, and I really appreciate the support and advance notice for fixing this issue. It looks like terra has everything we need, and I expect to make the code updates in May or June.

Good to hear, please reach out if the going gets (too) rough.
We have https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/05/15/evolution4.html out now, and sp
will flip to use sf
in place of rgdal
at version 2.0-0 due out shortly. It looks as though you could coerce output
in R/data_cleaning.R
line 280 to SpatVector
and use terra
to write the shapefile. Since you have raster
imported anyway, terra
is there too - maybe import it to be sure.
Thanks so much for the additional resources. I've scheduled some time to port the code in late June, and I'll follow-up if I get especially stuck.
Joe

Only three months remain before rgdal
is retired.
@mathedjoe Less than three weeks remain to fix this.
@mathedjoe 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. It remains the case that many packages importing the raster package needlessly depend on retiring packages, as raster stopped using them a year ago.
Please attend to emails of Dec 15, 2022 and today; review https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/04/10/evolution3.html urgently. Add this repo to the DESCRIPTION file too.
rgdal
,rgeos
ormaptools
will all be archived during October 2023, bringing this package down (@ttsukianto I found this repo by searching you).
