From 8bb5a564eb15654f59ba3c14f5df2aeecfe4be77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jose A. Hernandez" Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2023 10:39:48 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Minor typo README.md `rgdal` was repeated.

Roger Bivand, co-applicant of this proposal, has retired early 2021. Roger currently maintains `rgdal`, `rgdal` and `maptools` but will stop maintaining these packages by October 2023. Simply withdrawing these packages from CRAN will have a strong effect on other CRAN packages, as they have a large number of reverse dependencies. The problem addressed in this ISC proposal is to make it possible for Roger Bivand to retire from maintaining `rgdal`, `rgeos` and `maptools` while minimizing the disruption of CRAN packages and existing R scripts using these packages. This affects a large number of CRAN package maintainers, and a large number of users of all packages depending directly or indirectly on `rgdal`, `rgeos` or `maptools`. It simplifies maintenance of the “R Spatial stack”, and by that makes the CRAN ecosystem more robust. +The functionality of `rgdal`, `rgeos` and `maptools` has been largely superseded by other, more modern packages like `sf`, `stars` and `terra`.
