Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-3526: ------------------------------------- This package is still a ways away from being on CRAN AFAIK > [R] Installation relies on package not available on CRAN > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-3526 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3526 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Bug > Components: R > Reporter: James Lamb > Priority: Trivial > Labels: pull-request-available > Time Spent: 50m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > The R package currently relies on > [vctrs|https://github.com/r-lib/vctrs[],|https://github.com/r-lib/vctrs] a > project that as of now is not on CRAN or any other major package repository. > This is not mentioned in the installation instructions or anywhere else. > Developers who do not already have *vctrs* (an experimental package) will get > an error complaining about its absence when they try to install the arrow R > package. > I recommend explicitly adding install instructions for it to the README for > the R package. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
