  • Delta replication of source files and packages across networked resources
    Patent number: 7600021
    Abstract: The disclosed arrangements and procedures replicate source files across networked resources. Specifically, a server receives a package update notification corresponding to a difference between a previous set of source files and one or more new sets of source files. Responsive to receiving the package update notification, a delta set of source files that correspond to the difference are identified. A set of source and/or distribution servers in an enterprise network that are configured for delta replication is determined. The identified delta set of source files is communicated to the determined source and/or distribution servers.
