Cloud Foundry Experimental Apt Buildpack

A Cloud Foundry buildpack for apps requiring custom apt packages.

Buildpack User Documentation

The apt buildpack can be used to install deb packages prior to use in another buildpack. To configure which packages to install, provide apt.yml in your application and include a list of packages to install, eg:

---
packages:
- ascii
- libxml
- https://example.com/exciting.deb

If you would like to use custom apt repositories, you can add keys and repos to the apt.yml, eg:

---
keys:
- https://example.com/public.key
repos:
- deb http://apt.example.com stable main
packages:
- ascii
- libxml

Building the Buildpack

To build this buildpack, run the following command from the buildpack's directory:

Source the .envrc file in the buildpack directory.
```
source .envrc
```
To simplify the process in the future, install direnv which will automatically source .envrc when you change directories.

Install buildpack-packager

(cd src/apt/vendor/github.com/cloudfoundry/libbuildpack/packager/buildpack-packager && go install)

Build the buildpack
```
buildpack-packager
```

Use in Cloud Foundry

Upload the buildpack to your Cloud Foundry and optionally specify it by name

cf create-buildpack [BUILDPACK_NAME] [BUILDPACK_ZIP_FILE_PATH] 1
cf push my_app [-b BUILDPACK_NAME]

Testing

Buildpacks use the Cutlass framework for running integration tests.

To test this buildpack, run the following command from the buildpack's directory:

Source the .envrc file in the buildpack directory.
```
source .envrc
```
To simplify the process in the future, install direnv which will automatically source .envrc when you change directories.
Run unit tests
```
./scripts/unit.sh
```
Run integration tests
```
./scripts/integration.sh
```
