>
> The status quo for building the R package with the C++ library is a bit
> special (see procedure
> [here|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW/Release+Management+Guide#ReleaseManagementGuide-UpdatingCRANpackages])
> and requires that compilation happen with a specific toolchain for R. There
> is no guidance on how to get a successful build locally on Windows, and it's
> not covered by our CI so we are vulnerable to regression.
> Goal for this ticket: recreate the environment from
> [https://github.com/r-windows/rtools-backports] in our Appveyor so that we
> can build and test R with C++ in continuous integration. Side effect of
> bringing the {{PKGBUILD}} configuration that the r-windows setup uses into
> our source control for easier release management. This should also get us
> closer to, perhaps arriving at, reproducible build steps for local Windows
> developers.
