Re: Enabling an installation path for Arrow R users

2019-01-13 Thread Wes McKinney
Would it be possible to create some JIRA issues and/or documents (e.g. a Google document) to enumerate the tasks required to enable R users to install the package on each target platform? Based on the information available on the Arrow mailing list, it isn't clear to me at all where things stand. I

To have non-trivial R use, we have to get install.package working, which I think means integration with CRAN. There are a lot of logistical issues around build and packaging on each platform. It would be great to have a written summary of the best practices for each platform for getting bindings pl

We probably need to support both, conda-forge and CRAN. As a first shot, conda-forge will be much easier to setup as we should have a better build toolchain available there and this could also then be used in the multilanguage scenario demos really well. From my experience, the usage of conda in

hi folks, With 0.12 around the corner and significant progress on the R bindings project (sufficient for Spark integration [1]), I am wondering how everyday R users are going to be able to install the software respectively on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Thoughts about the strategy for this? Thanks
