Abstract: Technologies that allow for a significant reduction in the time required to incrementally build large computer programs, and increase in the scale of build systems that perform builds. The time reduction is caused by reducing the time required for processing systems in a distributed build system to acquire files needed for the respective processing system to perform their respective part of the build. The scale increase comes from relying on local processing systems instead of centralized processing systems. This is done by establishing a tier of cache locations on which appropriate files for a build may be found by the appropriate processing system. A system may be established that allows for the processor systems to validate that the files have not been tampered with by using signatures, and were appropriately identified.

Abstract: A catalog for maintaining a store of public and private limited distribution release software changes in a single location. A method for distributing limited distribution release software changes to clients via a network comprises receiving a search request, authenticating the client, querying a database of limited distribution release software changes, filtering the returned data according to a screening criteria, and providing the returned data to the client. A further method receives a request from a client to develop a limited distribution release software change, develops the limited distribution release software change, adds the developed limited distribution release software change to a catalog, notifies the client, and provides an interface to the client for accessing. A system further links knowledge base entries with related limited distribution release software changes.

Abstract: A mechanism for displaying large datasets may download an approximate range of the dataset along with a subset of the dataset to a client. The client may display the subset as well as indicators for the approximate range. When a user moves to a position within the dataset that is not downloaded, the client may send a request for a second subset of the dataset, which may be displayed on the client. The user may interact with the dataset to select different items in the dataset, for example, and those interactions may be collected while the user views different portions of the dataset. The user may process all of the interactions over the entire dataset or a portion of the dataset by committing the changes.
