| ### Contributing to rgrass | ||
|
|
||
| This outlines how to propose a change to `rgrass` as we move to support [GRASS 8.0](https://github.com/OSGeo/grass). The `rgrass` package is the successor to the `rgrass7` package. The current plan is for `rgrass` to support both GRASS 7 and 8, but for `rgrass7` to be retired. | ||
| This outlines how to propose a change to `rgrass` as we move to support [GRASS 8.0](https://github.com/OSGeo/grass). The `rgrass` package is the successor to the `rgrass7` package. `rgrass` supports both GRASS 7 and 8 and is available from CRAN; `rgrass7` will be retired at the latest at the end of 2023 when `rgdal` retires. | ||

||
| ### How to propose a change to rgrass | ||
|
|
||
| To propose a change to `rgrass`, please consider the roles assigned to the different branches in this repository. | ||
|
|
||
| * The `rgrass7` branch is the "target" maintenance source for the package `rgrass7` ("old" package). If you would like to contribute to `rgrass7`, please target your PRs and contributions to this branch. | ||
| * The `main` branch is the development branch for `rgrass`. If you would like to contribute to `rgrass` ("new" package), please target your PRs and contributions to this branch. | ||
|
|
||
| * The `rgrass` branch is the development branch for moving to support GRASS 8.0. If you would like to contribute to `rgrass` ("new" package), please target your PRs and contributions to this branch. | ||
| * The `rgrass7` branch is the "target" maintenance source for the package `rgrass7` ("old" package). If you would like to contribute to `rgrass7`, please target your PRs and contributions to this branch, but note that the package will largely be unusable for file interchange when | ||
|
|
||
| * The `main` branch remains the branch for maintenance updates (bug fixes), until support for GRASS 8.0 is achieved (changes on `rgrass7` are merged into `main`). | ||
|
|
||
| * Until the `rgrass` branch is ready for release, `main` and `rgrass7` are the same (changes on `rgrass7` are merged into `main`). | ||
|
|
||
| * When `rgrass` is ready for submission to CRAN, `rgrass` is merged with `main`, and `rgrass7` will be updated to give a startup message advising users to switch to `rgrass`. | ||
| * The next release of `rgrass7` will be updated to give a startup message advising users to switch to `rgrass` and to deprecate all file interchange functionality. |
