Heroku buildpack: GeoDjango

This is a Heroku buildpack for GeoDjango apps. It extends the original Python buildpack by adding GEOS, Proj.4 and GDAL, per the GeoDjango installation instructions.

This buildpack assumes your PostGIS server lives outside the Heroku stack, though we'd love to see it forked to handle any setup for Heroku's Postgres services.

Usage

Example usage:

<<<<<<< HEAD $ heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack http://github.com/cirlabs/heroku-buildpack-geodjango/

$ ls
Procfile  requirements.txt  web.py

$ heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack git://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python.git

You can also add it to upcoming builds of an existing application:

$ heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=git://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python.git

The buildpack will detect your app as Python if it has the file requirements.txt in the root. It will detect your app as Python/Django if there is an additional settings.py in a project subdirectory.

All libraries are stored in /app/.github.

IMPORTANT: You will need to set two Django settings in order for GEOS and GDAL to work properly!

GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH = '/app/.geodjango/geos/lib/libgeos_c.so'

GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = '/app/.geodjango/gdal/lib/libgdal.so'
