ABSTRACT:
A user centric approach todelete-start id="DEL-S-00001" date="20090203" ?programdelete-end id="DEL-S-00001" ?product distribution,insert-start id="INS-S-00001" date="20090203" ?such as a program product,insert-end id="INS-S-00001" ?including a complementary multi-vendor code control system (MVCCS) suitable for use to practice the user centric distribution approach is disclosed. Under the user centric approach, versioning control information of thedelete-start id="DEL-S-00002" date="20090203" ?source/objectdelete-end id="DEL-S-00002" ?files of variousdelete-start id="DEL-S-00003" date="20090203" ?programdelete-end id="DEL-S-00003" ?products to be installed on various user computer systems are maintained on a user computer system by user computer system basis. Each user computer system or its proxy is provided with a portion or an entire MVCCS to facilitate receipt and storage into a common repository for the user computer system versioning control information of differentdelete-start id="DEL-S-00004" date="20090203" ?source/objectdelete-end id="DEL-S-00004" ?files of differentdelete-start id="DEL-S-00005" date="20090203" ?softwaredelete-end id="DEL-S-00005" ?vendors, and to facilitate retrieval of selective versions of the differentdelete-start id="DEL-S-00006" date="20090203" ?source/objectdelete-end id="DEL-S-00006" ?files for the user computer system using versioning control information stored in the common repository for the user computer system.delete-start id="DEL-S-00007" date="20090203" ?In one embodiment, the MVCCS is further equipped to facilitate receipt and storage into a common library, the different source/object files identified by corresponding universally unique identifiers (UUID), and the versioning control information includes predecessor UUID information. In one embodiment, both the common repository and the common library, as well as the entire MVCCS are disposed on the user computer system.delete-end id="DEL-S-00007" ?
