[R-sig-Geo] rgdal 1.5-8 released on CRAN

Sat May 30 16:03:30 CEST 2020

Roy,
From a related prior post Roger shared this link to rgdal-1.5-9,
http://spatial.nhh.no/R/rgdal/ . I followed discussions
from the 'sf' github readme and purged all prior proj/geos/gdal iterations
that have lingered around over the past five
years and built them from source on ubuntu 20.04. This upgrade to 20.04 was
perhaps my first mistake in a month
long effort to bring back my full spatial capabilities as it doesn't become
the official LTS until sometime mid this month.
I don't know how Anaconda packages and may require sym links or copying
files from down in the depths to visible,
but it worked before and can be made to work again.
HTH-
Chris
