We're accumulating more deployment targets and possible package artifacts from Arrow releases, such as:
- Source tarball - Java JARs - Python wheels (for pip), 3 platforms - Python conda packages (for conda), 3 platforms - .deb/.rpm packages for C++, GLib C Doing all of this manually is a lot of work. Also, because many of the binary artifacts are being built post-release, they are not being voted on by the PMC and thus are "unofficial" packages. See http://arrow.apache.org/install/ Recently the apache/arrow-dist repo was created as a place where we can automate package builds, with uploads happening to a cloud bucket someplace: https://github.com/apache/arrow-dist Once we've set up the build scripts and various CI services, which should decide which packages we may want to include as part of a future release vote. Any help with packaging and distribution would be much appreciated. Thanks Wes
