Note: This is the old buildpack. The new one (shipped with DE5.3.0 onwards) is available at: https://github.com/plotly/apt-buildpack

This is a Cloud Native Buildpack that adds support for apt-based dependencies during both build and runtime.

This buildpack is based on the heroku-buildpack-apt

This buildpack is not meant to be used on its own, and instead should be in used in combination with other buildpacks.

Include a list of apt package names to be installed in a file named Aptfile

The buildpack automatically downloads and installs the packages when you run a build:

$ pack build --buildpack fagiani/apt myapp

# you can list packages
libexample-dev

# or include links to specific .deb files
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/wkhtmltopdf/0.12.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-precise-amd64.deb

# or add custom apt repos (only required if using packages outside of the standard Ubuntu APT repositories)
:repo:deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful main universe

MIT

This buildpack is experimental and not yet intended for production use.
