[jira] [Created] (ARROW-10734) [R] Build and test on Solaris

Neal Richardson created ARROW-10734:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: [R] Build and test on Solaris
                 Key: ARROW-10734
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10734
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: R
            Reporter: Neal Richardson
             Fix For: 3.0.0


Not that there's demand for Solaris. But if we can actually build on Solaris, then we don't need all of the ARROW_R_WITH_ARROW conditional building and custom codegen--we can just always build with the C++ library on all of CRAN's environments.

We may already be able to build on Solaris fine, given how many other platforms we build Arrow. The bigger challenge may be the CI setup. {{rhub}} does have a check_on_solaris (https://r-hub.github.io/rhub/reference/check_shortcuts.html) but it's unclear if we can call that from a github action. There's also https://github.com/vmactions/solaris-vm and related tools for running a VM on github actions.
