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

Open rsbivand opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

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.

Please note that rgrass7 is ddeprecated and will be archived during 2023; rgrass already uses terra, not rgdal for file input/output.
