We have the need for some specific versions of shared libraries installed using buildpacks on certain machines. This buildpack provides a vendored package of those libraries so they can be reliably installed.
It is a buildpack that extracts the following libraries onto a machine:
libxml2-2.9.1libxslt-1.1.28
It does this by building those two libraries within a docker container and then
packaging them into a tar archive. When the buildpack is run it extracts these
files and adds a script to update LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the path to the
file that was extracted.
Run make dist to create a new version of dist.tar.gz. This will unpack the
vendored dependencies and build them.
Run test/compile to check that the compile script can run.
