How to include images in lib/assets on Heroku?

Currently, I have a external CSS library that I'm including in my rails app with the following structure

lib/
  assets/
    theme/
      css/
        *.css
      images/
        *.img

The CSS files refer to some images as follow:

background: #fff url("../images/image1.png") repeat;

This works fine locally, but when I deploy to Heroku this relative path ends up being:

...root_url/image1.png which doesn't work.

I could update all the image references to point to assets/ AND move the images there, but that seems tedious and I would prefer not to modify the CSS files since they are external.

Is there an easier way to accomplish this?

If you're using SASS, you have access to the asset-pipeline helpers, like:

background: #fff url(asset-path('image1.png'));

If you don't have SASS or a pre-processor, you can use the non-versioned asset path directly:

background: #fff url('/assets/image1.png'));
