Please note: references to Sphinx in this repository are referring to the Sphinx search engine, not the documentation generator for Python.
Simply include this repository's URL in your .buildpacks file in your application's repository, alongside your other buildpacks. Alternatively, you can use the BUILDPACK_URL environment variable (Dokku, old versions of Heroku), or heroku buildpacks:set (Heroku).
Example implementation - using a .buildpacks file
https://github.com/xtrasimplicity/sphinx-buildpack.git#v3.0.2
# your other buildpacks...
Example implementation - using the BUILDPACK_URL environment variable (Dokku)
dokku config:set APPLICATION_NAME BUILDPACK_URL="https://github.com/xtrasimplicity/sphinx-buildpack.git#v3.0.2"
Example implementation - using heroku buildpacks:set
heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/xtrasimplicity/sphinx-buildpack.git#v3.0.2
- Version 2.2.11: Postgres support may be broken.
I've had issues staticly linking postgres when compiling, so the binary files may require additional postgres libraries (.sofiles). If you're more comfortable than I am with this sort of thing, feel free to fork this repository, patch it and then submit a PR. Rough instructions for how I compiled mysql support can be found in the development section below.
Specific versions of Sphinx can be deployed by specifying the appropriate tag when referencing this repository in your buildpack. Each release is tagged using the same version number as Sphinx -- i.e. prebuilt binaries for Sphinx v2.2.11 are tagged v2.2.11 in this repository.
As of writing, the following versions are supported:
- Sphinx version 3.0.3 => Tag: v3.0.3
- Sphinx version 3.0.2 with glibc 2.12 support (CentOS 6, etc) => Tag: v3.0.2-glibc2.12
- Sphinx version 3.0.2 => Tag: v3.0.2
- Sphinx version 3.0.1 => Tag: v3.0.1
- Sphinx version 2.2.11 => Tag: v2.2.11
If you would like to add a new version of Sphinx to this repository, simply download the binaries for the desired version, and extract the files. i.e:
tar xvfz sphinx-3.0.1-release.tar.gz
cd sphinx-3.0.1-release
You can then compress them into a tarball, fork this repository, replace the path to prebuilt_binaries.tar.gz, update the bin/compile file and then submit a merge request with the version you're adding. If accepted, a tag matching the sphinx version will be created.
