[R-pkg-devel] Package required but not available: ‘arrow’

[Park, Sung Jae]

Thank you so much for all of you! I haven’t thought that ‘arrow’ package itself will have an error.
Since ‘arrow’ package isn’t a crucial component of our package, I made ‘arrow’ package into ‘Suggests’ and update cran-comment.md accordingly.
I appreciate your advice once again.

Best,

Depending on your use case you can also take a look at the nanoarrow
package (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcran.r-project.org%2Fpackage%3Dnanoarrow&data=05%7C02%7Cspark7%40ufl.edu%7C1e2fd4f4cb684488106208dc339c0e93%7C0d4da0f84a314d76ace60a62331e1b84%7C0%7C0%7C638441992558568835%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=uJO%2BkxcEtEoDRg9ynyEYuOOCjO%2B30L05lwqIaPifijE%3D&reserved=0<https://cran.r-project.org/package=nanoarrow>). Maybe it
provides all the features you need and has a much smaller footprint than
'arrow'.
