We would need to switch away from using the compiled conda packages as the basis for the wheels. I'm not sure if there is a different source that could provide except Arrow building them on their own. With my Arrow hat on, this is really annoying as either build times will increase significantly or we would have to use make a pre-filled Windows Docker image that already includes all our static libraries. With my conda-forge hat on, I would actually love to see this happen as this would mean that we could get rid of the static libraries which we actually don't want to build and distribute. As a package manager who can explicitly deal with native dependencies, dynamic linkage makes the package maintenance a whole lot easier. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
