--------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Bump CI jobs after 5.0.0
Key: ARROW-13489
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13489
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Reporter: Jonathan Keane
>From the wiki:
We have a CI job that will write parquet and feather files with the development
branch and then use previous release of arrow to read them in, testing that we
maintain backwards compatibility with these formats (for the features that are
tested). When there is a release, add the just-released version of arrow to the
CI job (called test-r-version-compatibility) The template for this job is
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/dev/tasks/r/github.linux.version.compatibility.yml
and you will need to add a new line to the matrix under the read-files job
with the version just released as the "old_arrow_version" along with the
current release R version number. We use the release R version to test this
backwards compatibility in order to take advantage of binaries built and hosted
by RStudio Package Manager which makes installing the release versions of old
arrow releases very easy and we don't have to re-create build environments to
match them.
