Hi Andrew, We need to fix nightly builds to release a new version.
Could you check the latest nightly builds[1], open JIRA issues for not unaddressed failed builds and fix them one by one? [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ra17f2f9c2323498edd45665d78ce669ae90c0bbd888921f94cf9ca5c%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E For example, wheel-win-* are worked at https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9096 . We don't need to open new JIRA issues for them. We also need to move away from Travis CI in nightly builds. See also: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r43ddf0ed5a3d21831edfa20bbe87514dc433e17ec86199c5a4cb80d4%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E We need to change "ci: travis" in https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/dev/tasks/tasks.yml for it. wheel-osx-* are worked at https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/8915 . I'll work on debian-*, ubuntu-* and centos-*. homebrew-* aren't unaddressed. Could you also work on them?
