Kouhei Sutou commented on ARROW-3265:
-------------------------------------
I'm not sure the context but it's not important.
CPack can generate .deb, .rpm, .tar.gz, .zip (Windows binary package) and .exe
(Windows installer) packages. (I just list packages what we are interested in.)
For .deb and .rpm, we already have them. And we can't use CPack based packages
in the official Debian/Fedora repository. For example, MariaDB can use CPack
for .rpm https://mariadb.org/get-involved/packaging/ but Fedora doesn't use
MariaDB's one: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mariadb/tree/master
For .tar.gz, we already have it.
For .zip (Windows binary package), we don't have it. CPack may be useful for
this case. For example, I'm using CPack to generate .zip for PGroonga
https://github.com/pgroonga/pgroonga/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L199 .
But we can do the same thing by {{cmake --build . --target install}} and {{7z a
%INSTALL_FOLDER%}}:
https://github.com/groonga/groonga/blob/master/appveyor.yml#L94
https://github.com/groonga/groonga/blob/master/appveyor.yml#L119
In Groonga, I'm creating .zip for each commit on AppVeyor:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/groonga/groonga/builds/22159025/job/p6h7qxqgh2txgb9c/artifacts
For MSYS2 users, .zip is not needed. We should maintain
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-arrow than .zip.
For Visual C++ users, vcpkg https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg support may be
useful. But I don't use it yet.
For .exe (Windows installer), we don't have it. But I think that it's needless.
Because Apache Arrow is a library not an application.
