A reference implementation of the Cloud Native Buildpacks specification.

This lifecycle implements the following versioned APIs

• Buildpack API 0.2
• Platform API 0.3

• detector - chooses buildpacks (via /bin/detect)
• analyzer - restores launch layer metadata from the previous build
• restorer - restores cache
• builder - executes buildpacks (via /bin/build)
• exporter - creates image and stores cache

• launcher - invokes choice of process

• rebaser - remotely patches images with new base image

To test, build, and package binaries into an archive, simply run:

$ make all

This will create an archive at out/lifecycle-<LIFECYCLE_VERSION>+linux.x86-64.tgz.

LIFECYCLE_VERSION defaults to the value returned by git describe --tags if not on a release branch (for more information about the release process, see RELEASE. It can be changed by prepending LIFECYCLE_VERSION=<some version> to the make command. For example:

$ LIFECYCLE_VERSION=1.2.3 make all

Steps can also be run individually as shown below.

Formats, vets, and tests the code.

$ make test

Builds binaries to out/linux/lifecycle/.

$ make build

To clean the out/ directory, run make clean.

Creates an archive at out/lifecycle-<LIFECYCLE_VERSION>+linux.x86-64.tgz, using the contents of the out/linux/lifecycle/ directory, for the given (or default) LIFECYCLE_VERSION.

$ make package
