R arrow package #81761
Comments
I encountered the same issue. I think the first thing to check is how the R library finds the C++ library. |
reading https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/install.html#how-dependencies-are-resolved, I don't think it is possible to build I have a workaround now. https://gist.github.com/Zhen-hao/8bdc7b2afe10f270f3f7e280a89c5ef0 |
Hello, I'm a bot and I thank you in the name of the community for opening this issue. To help our human contributors focus on the most-relevant reports, I check up on old issues to see if they're still relevant. This issue has had no activity for 180 days, and so I marked it as stale, but you can rest assured it will never be closed by a non-human. The community would appreciate your effort in checking if the issue is still valid. If it isn't, please close it. If the issue persists, and you'd like to remove the stale label, you simply need to leave a comment. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". If you'd like it to get more attention, you can ask for help by searching for maintainers and people that previously touched related code and @ mention them in a comment. You can use Git blame or GitHub's web interface on the relevant files to find them. Lastly, you can always ask for help at our Discourse Forum or at #nixos' IRC channel. |
Is anyone actively looking at this? If not, I can try putting together a PR fixing this—I got an override working on my local machine on both NixOS and macOS. |
Still have this issue on NixOS unstable. |
Okay. I am trying to fix this. Last time I tried, I was held up because the R library was at version 1.0.0, but the Arrow C++ library in Nixpkgs was 2.0.0. To fix that, I opened #108268 so that the R Arrow package was brought up to 2.0.0. I had to focus on other things after that got merged; in the meantime, the Arrow C++ library in Nixpkgs got upgraded to 3.0.0. I had a fix working locally based on @Zhen-hao's examples, but it fails to build now. I'm pretty sure it's because of the 2.0.0 vs 3.0.0 version mismatch. What's the best way to proceed? Should I do another CRAN/etc version bump? Is there some lighter-weight way to only upgrade the R Arrow package? Is there a way to point the R package at an older version of the Arrow C++ library? Going forwards, if the C++ library has breaking releases relatively often, would we need to bump the entire R package set often to keep them in sync? Does bumping the R package set more often create an undue maintenance or testing burden? Would love some advice from somebody more experienced with Nixpkgs and the R package system in particular. @peti or @SuperSandro2000? |
I have no idea about R. |
@TikhonJelvis I'm guessing this GitHub issue has a small viewership; maybe some people who know the answer follow the Discourse forum. |
…arrow-cpp See #81761 for further details.
To answer @TikhonJelvis's questions:
I have updated only the
If we would have an older version around, then it would be possible to point the R build to it by adding an appropriate override:
That would be the best solution, IMHO. Updating |
