---------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Rework Linux binary installation
Key: ARROW-16752
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16752
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Packaging, R
Reporter: Neal Richardson
Fix For: 9.0.0
See https://github.com/jeroen/V8/blob/master/configure#L17-L35 and
https://github.com/jeroen/V8/blob/gh-pages/get-v8-linux.sh#L10-L41 for
reference, though we'll do this in nixlibs.R not bash.
* Rather than switching on distro-version and maintaining a csv map of
compatible versions, check for the features of the current system.
* Check arch before downloading and only download for x86 (until some future
time when we build arm or other binaries).
* Check if C++ compiler is gcc < 5, use centos 7 gcc 4.8 binary for that case
* Else, check for openssl and curl, bail if not found (non-centos7 binaries
require them for aws-sdk support)
* Else, check {{openssl version}}, use ubuntu 22.04 if openssl >= 3, else use
ubuntu 18.04
* Add an allowlist of distro id that has binary downloading by default (V8
downloads static libs by default on ubuntu and centos); this should perhaps
download from a URL so that we can add/remove distros from the list based on
feedback from the wild (and if download of that list fails, we can't download a
binary anyway, so this would double as a test for whether we have a network
connection)
