Buildpacks and the hunt for the missing dependency version
Buildpacks are the proven plug’n’play method that allows any Cloud Foundry platform to attempt to compile and run any application you can throw at it. They are also a very important vehicle for delivery security patches to all applications. But what if a new upstream security patch is published but it hasn’t turned up in your Cloud Foundry yet? You’re a humble app developer; what can you do about it? Fortunately, you’ve got options.
Buildpacks documentation starts at https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/buildpa... and includes links to the GitHub repositories for each buildpack.
The CI pipeline for all CF buildpacks is http://bit.ly/cf-buildpacks. The group of jobs that specifically update Ruby are at https://buildpacks.ci.cf-app.com/team....
