ATK's heroku-buildpack-apt

Adds support for apt-based dependencies during both compile and runtime.

This repo (originally forked from ddollar/heroku-buildpack-apt ), was used to install dependencies during the Heroku build process for migrating The Feed app from Heroku's Cedar-10 to Cedar-14 stack. The following apache dependencies were absent in Cedar-14 (see Heroku's list of Ubuntu Packages on Cedar and Cedar-14) so apache wouldn't run until these dependencies could be installed & found when starting the app:

libjpeg62
libssl0.9.8 (which includes a dependency, libcrypto.so.0.9.8)

Usage

This buildpack works in conjuction with ATK's heroku-buildpack-multi buildpack.

heroku-buildpack-multi loads on your app's buildpacks that are specified inside its .buildpacks file, such as https://github.com/Americastestkitchen/heroku-buildpack-apt and https://github.com/Americastestkitchen/heroku-wordpress-php as in the ATK's Feed app

I removed the original test folder which contained Aptfile & .buildpacks files to avoid confusion about how and where they are used as they are located on app's code base in the root of the project folder: see them in ATK's Feed app

Original examples

The following is from original repo instructions from ddollar/heroku-buildpack-apt. KEEP IN MIND that they had originally included samples of test/Aptfile & test/.buildpacks just for explanatory purposes which do not actually operate from within THIS buildpack's codebase, ie you still need an app that calls on this buildpack to install dependencies.
