Comments from CRAN:

We now see your package fail its examples with

Can you pls fix as necessary?

Version 0.1.1

Release 0.1.1 fixes comments from the 0.1.0 version from CRAN, notably making references to external functions more explicit. Submitted with the comments:

While I explicitly specify my use of
  functions in the sp package within my own code (e.g.
  sp::plot()), not loading the sp package when loading
  this package doesn't make sense because users expect
  plot() to mean sp::plot() when working with sp and
  rdgdal.

Received the following back from CRAN (apparently submitting comments was not any use):

Thanks, we se:

Please fix,

Version 0.1.0

First release of rcanvec, submitted to win-builder and then to CRAN 2015-10-03. Had the following comments:

Found the following (possibly) invalid URLs:
  URL: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ggmap/index.html
    From: man/searchbbox.Rd

    Message: OK
    CRAN URL not in canonical form
  The canonical URL of the CRAN page for a package is

The Title field should be in title case, current version then in title case:
'Access and plot CanVec and CanVec+ data for rapid basemap creation in Canada'
'Access and Plot CanVec and CanVec+ Data for Rapid Basemap Creation in Canada'

Packages in Depends field not imported from:
  'rgdal' 'sp'
