Hi,
How about creating a pull request to apache/arrow-dist with
changes to use the latest apache/arrow? (A sample script
exists at the end.)
If the pull request is created, we can test packaging with
the latest apache/arrow on Travis CI. If we add the
following configuration to .travis.yml in apache/arrow-dist,
we can get a notification via e-mail on failure:
---
notifications:
email:
recipients:
- [email protected] # or something
# See
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/notifications/#Changing-notification-frequency
# for details
on_success: never # or change
on_failure: always
---
If the pull request is succeeded, we just close the pull
request. (It should be automated.) Or we merge it into
master and publish daily packages.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "octokit"
github_token = ENV["GITHUB_TOKEN"]
if github_token.nil?
$stderr.puts("Must specify GitHub access token by GITHUB_TOKEN environment
variable")
exit(false)
end
client = Octokit::Client.new(:access_token => github_token)
now = Time.now
branch = now.strftime("update-%Y-%m-%d")
message = now.strftime("Update at %Y-%m-%d")
def run(*command_line)
IO.pipe do |input, output|
expanded_command_line = command_line.join(" ")
puts(expanded_command_line)
response = nil
begin
read_thread = Thread.new do
response = input.read
end
unless system(*command_line, :out => output)
raise "failed to run: #{expanded_command_line}"
end
output.close
ensure
read_thread.join
end
response
end
end
run("git", "fetch", "--all", "--prune")
run("git", "checkout", "master")
run("git", "rebase", "upstream/master")
begin
run("git", "checkout", "-b", branch)
Dir.chdir("arrow") do
current_version = run("git", "log", "-n1", "--format=%H", "HEAD").chomp
run("git", "checkout", "master")
run("git", "pull")
new_version = run("git", "log", "-n1", "--format=%H", "HEAD").chomp
exit(true) if current_version == new_version
end
Dir.chdir("cpp-linux") do
run("rake", "version:update")
end
# And do something for other packages
run("git", "commit", "-a", "-m", message)
run("git", "push", "origin", branch)
ensure
run("git", "checkout", "master")
run("git", "submodule", "update", "arrow")
run("git", "branch", "-D", branch)
end
client.create_pull_request("apache/arrow-dist", "master", branch, message)
