  • Publication number: 20180253292
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for deploying a build output package to a user includes: receiving a software build having a plurality of data sets and having a build version in a build output storage component; labeling each data set in the plurality of data sets with a unique identifier; receiving a package request requesting one or more data sets associated with the build version; building a package manifest that includes the unique identifier upon receiving the package request; copying each of the requested data sets and combining each of the copied data sets into a build output package based upon the package manifest, the copying and combining commencing upon building or completion of the package manifest; sending a copy of the build output package to the user; and deleting the build output package from the storage component in response to sending the copy of the build output package to the user.
