Neal Richardson created ARROW-6181:
--------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Only allow R package to install without libarrow on
linux
Key: ARROW-6181
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6181
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Reporter: Neal Richardson
Assignee: Neal Richardson
See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6167 for backstory. Now that
we're on CRAN, we can be less paranoid about build failures getting the package
rejected, and we can focus on solidifying the CRAN binary package experience.
The macOS binaries for 0.14.1 were built without the C++ library, which we did
not expect and cannot reproduce. At this point, it would probably be better to
have a failed build than have binaries get made but be useless. Plus, word has
it that for macOS binary builds, CRAN will retry if they fail for some reason.
It's possible that whatever failed for 0.14.1 was transient, and if the build
had failed instead of carried on without libarrow, on retry it may have built
successfully.
