Subject: rgeos released on CRAN
With some trepidation, rgeos - an interface to Geometry Engine - Open
Source (GEOS) for topology operations on sp geometries - is now released
on CRAN as a source package. A Windows binary package should follow within
a couple of days. If an OSX binary package is offered on CRAN extras,
information will be given, otherwise use the Kyngchaos framework and
install from source. Contributions of bug reports, code patches, and
extensions are welcome, especially via R-Forge. Congratulations to Colin
Rundel for a very thorough implementation during GSoC 2010!
Enjoy!
Roger
