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.

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
