Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-4607:
-------------------------------------
I think this is a duplicate of ARROW-4383. [~kou] perhaps we can combine these
concerns into a single issue?
> [C++] Please have a cmake variable to build with all externally installed
> dependency packages

> Key: ARROW-4607
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4607
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Yuri
> Priority: Major
>
> In order to package Arrow, it needs to be possible to use only external
> dependencies, because the package builder isn't allowed to download any files
> during build form security reasons, so bundling isn't possible.
>
> I am not saying that the build should be radically changed, it should only
> have a particular cmake variable (ex. ```{{USE_EXTERNAL_PACKAGES}}```) that
> would make it to use only external packages.
>
> My particular OS is FreeBSD, but this concern should apply to all systems.
>
> Another relevant discussion is here:
