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.

Thanks for the notice. I'm happy for geoviz to retire because rayshader has developed a lot and made geoviz pretty much redundant by now.

Probably this will happen during June 2023, as geoviz fails CMD check with sp evolution status 2. You might consider asking CRAN to archive it pre-emptively, saving them the need to handle any check failure.

Please ask CRAN to archive geoviz now; sp with evolution status 2L will be submitted June 10.
