Description

As npr mentioned in https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12849#issuecomment-1101489333, the current code in nixlibs.R doesn't handle components that have multiple words (because of the way it parses variable names from filenames). Until now, we've had a special case for the AWS variables, but ARROW_GOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_URL and ARROW_NLOHMANN_JSON_URL also need handling. Instead of adding special cases, we can provide the correct ARROW_*_URL values with the new bash script added as part of ARROW-15092.

 

I'll add a PR.
