Pandoc Buildpack

A Heroku buildpack for pandoc.

It reads the requested pandoc version from the file .pandoc-version in the app directory.

It is based on https://github.com/illustrativemathematics/pandoc-buildpack .

Installation

To install this buildpack run:

heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/mindmatters/pandoc-buildpack.git -a your-app-name

The buildpack will be installed on your next push to the app.

What It Does

• The buildpack script downloads a prebuilt tar archive from the pandoc repository.
  • If the tar archive already exists in the heroku buildpack cache, the cached version will be used instead.
• The script then extracts the pandoc binary from this archive into /app/vendor/pandoc.
• Finally, the script adds /app/vendor/pandoc to the PATH.

For details, see the script in bin/compile.
