# Bob: The Binary Build Toolkit

This repo exists as a framework for the compilation and deployment of binaries and libraries on Heroku.

It is inspired by (and extracted from) [kennethreitz/python-versions](https://github.com/kennethreitz/python-versions).

## Intended Design

- Flexible type hierarchy
- Flat dependency resolution
- Version agnostic (careful curation and naming conventions preferred)
- Import already-deployed sub-dependencies during a build (optionally fetch from `UPSTREAM_S3_BUCKET`)

## Powered By

- Bash, mostly
- A litle bit of Python
- Boto

## Getting Started (Staging)

 * `$ heroku create build-toolkit-python-staging --buildpack https://github.com/kennethreitz/conda-buildpack.git`
 * `$ heroku config:set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx S3_BUCKET=xxx`

Now that your Heroku app for building is created, push a repo containing your formula to the app (e.g. the python buildpack repo). 

```
$ heroku run bash

$ bob build runtimes/python-2.7.6
$ bob deploy runtimes/python-2.7.6
