### Rationale for this change The `r-devdocs` crossbow CI job fails during the gap between the C++ release (published to apt) and the R package release (CRAN). Two hidden bash chunks in `setup.Rmd` were silently installing the released `libarrow-dev` from apt during CI, overwriting the version built from the git checkout. Since the R package (`arrow.so`) was compiled against the newer git-built `libarrow`, loading it against the older apt version caused an undefined symbol ABI mismatch error. ### What changes are included in this PR? Removes the hidden CI test chunks from `r/vignettes/developers/setup.Rmd`: - Removed hidden macOS chunk that ran `brew install apache-arrow` - Removed hidden Ubuntu chunk that ran `apt install libarrow-dev` (root cause of the ABI mismatch) - Converted the `MAKEFLAGS="LDFLAGS="` example from an executable knitr chunk to a plain `bash` code block preserves the documentation example without executing it in CI ### Are these changes tested? No, the fix removes the broken test logic from the vignette. As noted by @thisisnic, this type of testing should live in proper CI infrastructure, not embedded as hidden code in documentation. ### Are there any user-facing changes? No. The rendered documentation is unchanged the `MAKEFLAGS="LDFLAGS="` example remains visible in the "Multiple versions of libarrow" troubleshooting section. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
