> `libarrow_testing` and `libarrow_flight_testing` are not tests. They are utility libraries to write tests. OK, they're test _infrastructure_. > It's better that conda creates separated subpackages for them. I'm not interested in shipping these things unless a very concrete use-case comes up, otherwise we're just wasting everyone's bandwidth and storage for nothing. I only want to test the library, and then not install the tests and any test-only infrastructure. I can do this manually, but that's fragile if arrow ever adds new stuff that ends up getting installed through `ARROW_BUILD_TESTS`. It should not be controversial to separate building tests (+ whatever else comes along!) from installing them? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
