Luke Higgins commented on ARROW-902:
------------------------------------
I do not know of other projects that have this feature to model on (although I
have wanted this feature for a lot of projects!)
I don't have a preference. If preferred changing to check for an enviroment
variable for each third party dependency seems fine to me too.
This feature would help a lot. I believe there are quite a few people that are
a little stuck from interacting with projects because of being in environments
not connected to the internet (directly).
On a different note, is there a reason the boost dependency is not done like
the other third party dependencies?
> [C++] offline build support

> Key: ARROW-902

> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Luke Higgins
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: CMakeLists.txt

> Could there be a flag or similar to make offline building of the project
> easier (or maybe that is in place and I don't see it)?
> Something that perhaps in CMakeLists.txt that has the option for the URL to
> be a file:// path?
> This would help me in that I could download all relevant tarballs and have
> the same build happen offline or online.
