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

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10734?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Neal Richardson updated ARROW-10734:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
There's no user demand for running Arrow on Solaris, but CRAN likes packages to build there and at some point we may be asked to support it. This is an umbrella issue for things found along the way.

CI will be another big challenge. {{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. 

  was:
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.
