---------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Build and test on Solaris
Key: ARROW-10734
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10734
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: R
Reporter: Neal Richardson
Fix For: 3.0.0
Not that there's demand for Solaris. But if we can actually build on Solaris,
then we don't need all of the ARROW_R_WITH_ARROW conditional building and
custom codegen--we can just always build with the C++ library on all of CRAN's
environments.
We may already be able to build on Solaris fine, given how many other platforms
we build Arrow. The bigger challenge may be the CI setup. {{rhub}} does have a
check_on_solaris (https://r-hub.github.io/rhub/reference/check_shortcuts.html)
but it's unclear if we can call that from a github action. There's also
https://github.com/vmactions/solaris-vm and related tools for running a VM on
github actions.
