Branching

The master branch should always contain production ready code. All features which are staged to go into the next release are found in the development branch.

Releases are done by merging development to master and creating a tag on master which follows Semantic Versioning.

Features should always live in their own branch. Feature branches start with feature/, e.g. a name for your feature branch might be feature/my-awesome-feature. Feature branches should branch off master, and get merged to development once they are reviewed.

Please submit pull requests to the development branch. The development branch is used to make new releases of this buildpack, which are available to all users.

Hacking

Setup

You need the following tools to hack on this project:

  • An Amazon S3 bucket
  • s3cmd from http://s3tools.org
  • vulcan from Heroku bundle install --path vendor

Setup vulcan:

bundle install --path vendor
./vendor/bin/vulcan create <yourname>-buildserver

Setup an S3 Bucket in Amazon. Then note the name of your bucket and set it as S3_BUCKET in conf/buildpack.conf.

If s3cmd is not configured you can run ``s3cmd --configure`

You can copy our bucket by running s3cmd cp --recursive --acl-public s3://chh-heroku-buildpack-php s3://your-bucket

Then create a Heroku app with your fork as buildpack:

mkdir myexampleapp
cd myexampleapp
git init
heroku create --buildpack git://github.com/youruser/heroku-buildpack-php#feature/my-awesome-feature myexampleapp

Packaging

Packaging is done with Vulcan by Heroku. You need to setup a build server before packaging. Note: This requires a Heroku account with a valid credit card on file! You don't get charged anything though.

vulcan create youruser-buildserver

All packaging scripts are in the support directory and are named package_<type>, where <type> is either nginx or php. All packaging scripts take the desired package version as first argument.

When the packaging is complete, the manifest which lists all available package version is updated for the package type. Manifests are plain text files which list each available version on a separate line.

They're uploaded to the S3 bucket as manifest.<type> files, e.g. the manifest for PHP is manifest.php.

Before packaging anything, you need to make sure that you've a Zlib tarball in your S3 bucket. Both NGINX and PHP depend on it. You need the exact version which is set in the packaging scripts.

To get one, use support/get_zlib <version>, for example:

./support/get_zlib 1.2.8

Updating NGINX

NGINX is packaged by the script support/package_nginx.

For example, to build NGINX 1.5.2:

./support/package_nginx 1.5.2

Updating PHP

PHP is packaged by the script support/package_php.

For example, to build PHP 5.5.0:

./support/package_php 5.5.0
