Neal Richardson created ARROW-6181:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: [R] Only allow R package to install without libarrow on linux
                 Key: ARROW-6181
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6181
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: R
            Reporter: Neal Richardson
            Assignee: Neal Richardson


See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6167 for backstory. Now that we're on CRAN, we can be less paranoid about build failures getting the package rejected, and we can focus on solidifying the CRAN binary package experience. The macOS binaries for 0.14.1 were built without the C++ library, which we did not expect and cannot reproduce. At this point, it would probably be better to have a failed build than have binaries get made but be useless. Plus, word has it that for macOS binary builds, CRAN will retry if they fail for some reason. It's possible that whatever failed for 0.14.1 was transient, and if the build had failed instead of carried on without libarrow, on retry it may have built successfully.
