A proof-of-concept Cloud Foundry buildpack to allow uploading compiled droplets. For discussion puposes only, do not use this in production.

Additional information can be found on the CloudCredo website.

###Using Cloud Rocker (preferred option at time of writing)

Follow the Cloud Rocker installation instructions.

Create a droplet from a sample app

$ git clone https://github.com/CloudCredo/cloudrocker
$ cd cloudrocker/sample-apps/go/
$ rock add-buildpack https://github.com/cloudfoundry/go-buildpack
$ rock up && rock off

Your compiled droplet should now be in ~/cloudrocker/droplet/ .

##Using the Droplet Buildpack

Change directory to your droplet's home

$ cd ~/cloudrocker/droplet/

Push your droplet to Cloud Foundry

$ cf push -b https://github.com/CloudCredo/droplet-buildpack test-go-app
