[R-pkgs] Retirement/archiving of rgdal, rgeos and maptools October 2023
The third report on the R-spatial evolution project has been published. https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/04/10/evolution3.html It links back to earlier blogs and presentations, and focuses on work that maintainers of R packages and workflows using rgdal, rgeos and maptools need to put in train now before the packages are archived on CRAN. The first changes will occur in June 2023, and the retiring packages will be archived during October 2023. If you are giving a workshop or tutorial during the Northern hemisphere summer, aim for June. If you still need more assistance after reading the project materials, raise an issue on https://github.com/r-spatial/evolution/issues or email me (issue better, less likely to be overlooked). -- Roger Bivand Emeritus Professor Department of Economics, Norwegian School of Economics, Postboks 3490 Ytre Sandviken, 5045 Bergen, Norway. e-mail: Roger.Bivand at nhh.no https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2392-6140 https://scholar.google.no/citations?user=AWeghB0AAAAJ&hl=en
