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

[rsbivand]

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.

[rsbivand]

This package has strong dependence on at least one of rgdal, rgeos or maptools, but does not seem to use any functionality in code. The usage may have been in raster, which now uses terra instead, or may be in examples or vignettes. Please move all use of rgdal, rgeos or maptools to Suggests: and protect any use against these packages not being present. The packages will be archived in October 2023. See https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/12/14/evolution2.html and https://rsbivand.github.io/csds_jan23/bivand_csds_ssg_230117.pdf and perhaps view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlpjIqTPMCA&list=PLzREt6r1NenmWEidssmLm-VO_YmAh4pq9&index=1.

[rsbivand]

Please also see https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/04/10/evolution3.html, fix best by June, latest October 2023.

Removing retiring packages from DESCRIPTION, NAMESPACE and spurious roxygen tags, and running CMD check in a scenario using sp evolution status 2 (substitute use of rgdal with sf for projection/transformation/CRS) and absence of retiring packages from the library path gives this log:
00check.log

@bthieurmel See also https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/05/15/evolution4.html. Please take urgent steps to resolve this issue. No positive changes appear in the repository. Less than three months remain to retain this package on CRAN.

[vargastat]

We have prepared a Pull Request with the modifications to remove requested dependencies @ #10, it will be done in coming days and before October 2023

[rsbivand]

@vargastat Thanks for responding. Please let me know if you would like me to run an instrumented CMD check before you submit to CRAN.

[vargastat]

Yes, I'd will love to have an instrumented CMD check before submit to CRAN , should I requested through the ticket or this email is enough?

Looks fine:
00check.log
Only warning for package version, notes for absent suggested antaresViz, which also needs an urgent update: rte-antares-rpackage/antaresViz#200.

[berthetclement]

@rsbivand we are waiting cran check for 0.4.1 then we will launch new release (0.5.0) and fix old dependencies with PR #10 .
For antaresViz, we have PR waiting to fix old dependencies too.
Thank you for your warnings

[rsbivand]

@berthetclement Good, thanks.
