Adopt maptools::sun-methods?

[rsbivand]

Oscar,

Is it possible that this package could receive the sun-methods from maptools https://maptools.r-forge.r-project.org/reference/sun-methods.html? Some 6 CRAN packages use the methods, and as.maptools retires would see changes in results using for example solartime. Sebastian Luque, the author of the methods, would be happy to see them moved from maptools.

Hi Roger,

I am sorry but I am not interested in these methods. On the one hand, there are already functions in solaR that implement equations of solar geometry. On the other hand, this package suggests sp and these methods would imply using Depends or Imports, and I don't want this change in the dependencies.

Perhaps Sebastian could publish these methods in a separate package.

Thanks, I understand. I'll follow up your suggestion.
