{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Remove use of maptools","articleBody":"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.
