Re: [R-sig-Geo] maptools, rgdal, rgeos and rgrass7 retiring Monday, October 16
As previously announced, maptools, rgdal, rgeos and rgrass7 have been archived by CRAN at my request. Some turbulence may be expected as about 80 packages with remaining strong dependencies on the archived packages also are archived. I'm very grateful to many maintainers who have responded to requests to update in time. Going forward, sp 2.1-1 will be submitted shortly removing on-load messages, and about 70 non-updated packages with remaining weak dependencies on the archived packages will be warned to update. Any issues arising from the evolution process should be reported here or at https://github.com/r-spatial/evolution/issues.

On R-universe, builds of packages archived on CRAN are dropped automatically (https://github.com/r-universe-org/help/issues/286). Read-only github mirrors of archived packages will remain available in principle while github exists (https://github.com/r-hub/rhub/issues/568), for example https://github.com/cran/rgdal. Other binary builds (Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu) have been alerted; support at Anaconda has been alerted. On CRAN, the retired packages will continue to be available as source packages on https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive. maptools, rgdal and rgeos also retain their R-forge repositories, which may be used to retrieve functions for adding to other packages. A snapshot of Windows and macOS binary packages may be found on https://github.com/r-spatial/evolution/tree/main/backstore. Please raise questions by replying to this post, or as issues on https://github.com/r-spatial/evolution. -- Roger Bivand Emeritus Professor Norwegian School of Economics Postboks 3490 Ytre Sandviken, 5045 Bergen, Norway [email protected] ___ R-sig-Geo mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo
