[R-pkg-devel] Needing rgeos from sf

[Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal]

I have been testing a package for resubmission with bug fixes.  On the present CRAN builds I get:

> Result: NOTE 
>     Namespaces in Imports field not imported from:
>      ‘mapdata’ ‘maptools’ ‘plot3D’ ‘rgdal’ ‘rgeos’
>      All declared Imports should be used. 

However,  if I remove rgeos from the imports I get from win builder:

> Error in st_as_sfc.SpatialPolygons(sp::geometry(x), ...) : 
>      package rgeos required for finding out which hole belongs to which exterior ring

Note that I am not calling 'rgeos',  either 'sf' or 'sp' is,  but does not appear to be properly importing all the need namespaces.  

Best way  to proceed?  Include rgeos in Import and get the Note,  or ????

Thanks,

-Roy
