Publish a version with sp in Suggests?

[MichaelChirico]

The CRAN version of the package (1.4.5.3) has sp in Imports:

However, I don't see any version of the package on GitHub doing so, e.g. HEAD (version 1.4.5, presumably older than the CRAN version) has it in Suggests:

rgooglemaps/rgooglemaps/pkg/DESCRIPTION

Line 8 in d195f5a

Suggests: PBSmapping, maptools, sp, loa, RColorBrewer, leaflet,jpeg, RCurl

Given the pending deprecation of sp and friends I had been hoping to avoid installing them after updating to R 4.3, but it happened incidentally as a result of the Imports: status in rgooglemaps.

Is there any plan to publish an updated version to CRAN?

Thanks for pointing this out!
Yes, I am planning to remove the dependency on sp and maptools in the next few weeks !
I might update github first and then try CRAN later.
