Packages updating to spatstat 2.0 may need development versions of other packages to check their package. In particular sf and maptools may be useful if data in sf/sp format is used. In this issue I hope maintainers will write instructions on how to obtain the development version of their package if they have any reverse dependencies that may benefit from this. I will start by listing the ones I immediately know of. Then you can simply open this issue in your browser and search for the package name you need and find the instructions. If you can't find the package you are looking for, you can either download the package sources from this repository, and build and install the package from those, or you can send me an email and I will try to help you.

Hi,

Thank you very much for providing so much help and information about how to adapt a package to the new spatstat structure! That is very helpful.

I came up with a short function that returns the correct sub-packages for a vector of function names. Maybe this is also of help for other users? I currently don't check if spatstat is already installed, but that could be added just at the beginning of the function.

search_fun <- function(fct) {
  
  # vector with sub-packages
  spatstat_packages <- c("spatstat.utils", "spatstat.data", "spatstat.sparse", 
                         "spatstat.geom", "spatstat.core", "spatstat.linnet")
  
  # get namespace of all sub-packages
  full_namespace <- lapply(spatstat_packages, function(i) cbind(getNamespaceExports(i), i))

  # combine to one matrix
  full_namespace <- do.call(what = rbind, args = full_namespace)
  
  # return only rows with functions
  result <- matrix(full_namespace[full_namespace[, 1] %in% fct, ], ncol = 2)
  
  return(result)
  
}

search_fun(fct = c("pcf", "as.ppp"))
#>      [,1]     [,2]           
#> [1,] "as.ppp" "spatstat.geom"
#> [2,] "pcf"    "spatstat.core"

search_fun(fct = "envelope")
#>      [,1]       [,2]           
#> [1,] "envelope" "spatstat.core"
