I'm going to fix this

@zoometh 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.

@zoometh Less than three weeks remain to fix this.

@zoometh R spatial infrastructure packages maptools, rgdal and rgeos will be archived by CRAN on Monday, October 16, 2023. Your package does not pass CMD check when these packages are not available. Expect your package to be archived by CRAN October 17-18 as CRAN checks feed through and your package fails, if not updated by Monday, October 16, 2023.

No grace period is anticipated, as you have had sufficient time to update your package to remove dependencies on maptools, rgdal and/or rgeos.

@rsbivand I've replaced the rgdal library by sf. Should I resubmit the entire package to the CRAN or a simple patch would be enough?

from iconr.

Submit a new version, after running R CMD build <package_directory>, then R CMD check --as-cran on the tar srchive from the previous step with current and development versions of R after removing the retiring packages. I can run R CMD check if you attach the tar archive you built for example here.

That's fine. I've have made many changes to the package, adding shape analysis functions. Today, I have many errors and warnings I will try to solve in the coming days
