[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-12651) [R] Pre-built binaries URLs not working

["Eduardo Ponce (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12651?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17339279#comment-17339279 ] 

Eduardo Ponce commented on ARROW-12651:
---------------------------------------

Nightly builds append the date to the zip file, for example,
https://arrow-r-nightly.s3.amazonaws.com/libarrow/bin/ubuntu-18.04/arrow-4.0.0.20210503.zip
It seems the R installation is not adding the date to the download URL.

>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 4.0.0
>            Reporter: Siddhartha Bagaria
>            Priority: Major
>
> On trying:
> {code:java}
> install.packages("arrow", configure.vars = c("LIBARROW_BINARY=ubuntu-18.04", "ARROW_R_DEV=true")){code}
> I eventually get:
> {code:java}
> trying URL 'https://arrow-r-nightly.s3.amazonaws.com/libarrow/bin/ubuntu-18.04/arrow-4.0.0.zip'
> Error in download.file(from_url, to_file, quiet = quietly) : 
>   cannot open URL 'https://arrow-r-nightly.s3.amazonaws.com/libarrow/bin/ubuntu-18.04/arrow-4.0.0.zip'
> {code}
> Having pre-built binaries is nice because it allows one to skip an otherwise complex build process.
> Also, would you be able to guide the last version of arrow-r that has pre-built binaries for Ubuntu 16.04?
> Thanks.
