[R-sig-Geo] Deprecated packages

2021-11-02 Thread Erin Hodgess
Hello there!

Are both maptools and automap going away, please?

Also, is anyone putting together a sort of substitution list for old
packages going to new packages, please?  Just wondering.  I was thinking
about it if no one else is.

Thanks,
Erin

Hi Erin, I am also thinking about it.

With Roger's retirement, rgdal, rgeos and maptools will effectively go 
away, by the end of 2023. We are working on contingency plans and 
instructions for package maintainers, and will share on this list as 
soon as there is something to share.


For automap, I have no clue; it hasn't been updated for a long time but 
doesn't depend on one of these three.
