-------------------------------------
Summary: [CI] Mark MinGW build failures allowed
Key: ARROW-4720
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4720
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Wish
Components: C++, Continuous Integration
Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
Currently we are requiring MinGW tests to pass on AppVeyor. Almost nobody will
use MinGW builds if regular MSVC builds work fine. So it should be on the onus
of the few people caring about MinGW to ensure that the build chain works on
those platforms.
Example here, apparently the uriparser library doesn't build on MinGW:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/pitrou/arrow/build/job/t64xwyj2axhl1jgr
There is a tendency to inflate the number of different configurations in our CI
matrices. Not only it makes builds longer and adds delays (see how long you
have to wait before you get a CI result on AppVeyor), but it's of dubious
utility. I'm not sure it serves the project's general interest.
Rant off ;)
