See: https://r-spatial.org/r/2022/04/12/evolution.html. sp on CRAN now offers control of the environment variable, so the attached log is from _SP_EVOLUTION_STATUS_=2 _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_=FALSE R CMD check spatialEco_1.3-7.tar.gz:
00check.log

Even with retiring packages present, but running under _SP_EVOLUTION_STATUS_=2 errors occur:
00check.log

Professor Bivand, Thank you for the reminder. I have been working on moving the entire spatialEco package to sf and terra thus removing dependency on rgdal, sp and raster entirely. However, I am trying to build in some backwards compatibility making it slower going. Hopefully I will have a new CRAN submission ready to go in the next few weeks. I do have a maptools dependency that I need to figure out how to deal with. There are some handy coercion methods and utilities in maptools. Is there any plan to make some of the maptools functionality available for sf classes?

@jeffreyevans Thanks! From https://github.com/r-spatial/evolution/blob/main/pkgapi_by_pkg_220811.csv#L205, I can only see rgeos functions used in code, but pkgapi maybe misses some coercion methods. Which coercion methods are you using at prresent (from and to classes)?

I have this package updated however, am waiting on spatstat to make updates. They are splitting spatstat.core into two packages, spatstat.explore and spatstat.model and are weeks overdue for pushing the changes to CRAN. Since they will then be archiving spatstat.core there is no point in me submitting spatialEco to CRAN before they make their changes. Thanks for the push, it motivated me to make changes that were quite overdue.
