    Patent number: 9116770
    Abstract: An installation package associated with an application is obtained. Installation of the application in a first type of system is analyzed based at least in part on the installation package. A first set of changes made to the first type of system resulting from installation of the application in the first type of system is identified. Based on the first set of changes, a second set of changes made to a second type of system resulting from installation of the application in the second type of system is identified, and a recipe identifying the second set of changes is generated. A new installation package associated with the application can also be generated.
