Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-3526:
-------------------------------------
What should happen to this JIRA?
> [R] Installation relies on package not available on CRAN
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-3526
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3526
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: R
> Reporter: James Lamb
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 2h 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The R package currently relies on
> [vctrs|https://github.com/r-lib/vctrs[],|https://github.com/r-lib/vctrs] a
> project that as of now is not on CRAN or any other major package repository.
> This is not mentioned in the installation instructions or anywhere else.
> Developers who do not already have *vctrs* (an experimental package) will get
> an error complaining about its absence when they try to install the arrow R
> package.
> I recommend explicitly adding install instructions for it to the README for
> the R package.
