Nicola Crane closed ARROW-14218.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Closing this as many changes have been made since it was opened and it is stale.
> [R] More improvements to developer docs
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-14218
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14218
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: R
> Reporter: Nicola Crane
> Priority: Major
>
> * Add link to the main contributions guidelines
> * Add a test of "how I know that my dev setup is OK?" to the end of the
> R-only step
> * The R-only instructions just have instructions on how to install libarrow
> but we should add a little about how to connect it up with the repo clone;
> the instructions mention it in the Linux version but could be more explicit
> * When a user clones the repo via RStudio it creates an .rproj file in the
> root directory - we should add an instructions to clone the arrow fork from
> the command line so we can use the project's .rproj file
> * We should consider removing the instruction for installing the released
> version of libarrow (or demoting it to the second place and explain why we'd
> use it) as typically a dev would want the dev version
> * Mac - you can't just install openssl, you need to add it to your path as
> LibreSSL is the default - we should add instructions about this
> * Better demarcation between "special instructions for Linux" and the next
> section - maybe use tabs again?
> * clarification of the difference between the build directory and the
> installation directory
