Jonathan Keane created ARROW-12049:
--------------------------------------
Summary: [R] [Documentation] Documentation for making an offline
build
Key: ARROW-12049
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12049
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation, R
Reporter: Jonathan Keane
For the most part, when Arrow builds locally it attempts to download the
dependency binaries/sources that are necessary to build successfully. It is
possible, however, to build Arrow in an offline mode where you manually
download the sources/binaries and point the build process to them (use case:
you're on a corporate network which blocks downloads from github). We should
document that this process exists and walk people through how to use it. There
might already be documentation for this in the CPP docs, so maybe we just need
a brief description + a link, or we might do that + make the cpp docs slightly
better while we're at it.
Recent example of this happening (with the added fun of centos 7) is ARROW-12026
