Windows: update to GDAL 3.2.1 stack

[jeroen]

Fresh binaries with GDAL 3.2.1 and PROJ 7.2.1. Please do test, I think there are some breaking changes!

Update: I don't see any Windows CI here, but all tests have passed on Winbuilder! However I do see a lot of diff output in CMD check, would that be expected?

• R-oldrel: https://win-builder.r-project.org/r0O7Y0A5J63d/
• R-release: https://win-builder.r-project.org/yPv3en0ofLb7/
• R-devel: https://win-builder.r-project.org/U4mm6tcp9GhZ/

@jeroen - good news! Some differences may be from the bundled EPSG database - it shifted from v9 to v10, so some textual changes are expected. May I make the same changes and checks for rgdal? Maybe also consider GEOS 3.9.0?

[jeroen]

@rsbivand yes you can do the same for rgdal. I have already tested it on my account here are the winbuilder results:

• R-release: https://win-builder.r-project.org/URmMIdZjK54X/
• R-oldrel: https://win-builder.r-project.org/8s4CjOM15Nfv/
• R-devel: https://win-builder.r-project.org/fFD0ckdj6k1w/

I wasn't aware there was a new version of geos. I can update it, but I am not sure if that means I also need to rebuild gdal, because it uses geos.

[jeroen]

OK I have triggered an update of geos and rebuilds of gdal/libspatialite, should be done later today.

[rsbivand]

GEOS 3.9 changes to what they call the OverlayNG engine, which is more tolerant of input geometries in topological operations, so is worth the pain. I think we've sorted out all the packages expecting geometry components in output to be ordered the same as before - with OverlayNG, they are not, but the geometry collection is the same.

Thanks @jeroen - the sf check diffs are noisy ATM, I need to clean them up, but I don't see anything unexpected.

[jeroen]

OK I have updated to GEOS 3.9.0 and rebuilt GDAL and spatialite against this new version. The PR above has been updated accordingly.

For completeness, here are the new winbuilder checks:

rgdal:

• https://win-builder.r-project.org/TlxsR8mnMiuA/
• https://win-builder.r-project.org/o6rqvtnFlj3M/
• https://win-builder.r-project.org/MKOzZuT651HL/

sf:

• https://win-builder.r-project.org/juK9sMCA5d5N/
• https://win-builder.r-project.org/Gk6YpE1fa9x0/

If that looks OK to you, this is ready to merge. You can make the same change in rgdal.

[rsbivand]

Yes, looks good for rgdal; do you have similar rgeos output to exercise GEOS (not important, sf touches the same GEOS functions)?

[jeroen]

Sure here you go:

• https://win-builder.r-project.org/kz49477PVLbt/
• https://win-builder.r-project.org/9ftYbMQ6YkHY/
• https://win-builder.r-project.org/0DIzeT1K6WZq/

[rsbivand]

Fine, thanks. rgdal and rgeos ready to go to CRAN. I see that the GDAL 3 repo has been updated.

[jeroen]

I see you committed it. Windows and MacOS users will be able to install the latest binary packages from r-universe:

install.packages("rgdal", repos = "https://r-forge.r-universe.dev")

Thanks, @jeroen !
