This invention relates to a method and apparatus for developing software. In one embodiment, a method for facilitating the distributed development of software components includes providing a skill rating for software developers, communicating specifications for a software component to a subset of the developers, receiving submissions from the developers, scoring the submissions, and selecting one submission to be included in a software repository. In another embodiment, a method for compensating a software developer includes soliciting software developers for the submission of computer software components, receiving software components in response to the solicitation from the developers, evaluating the received software components, selecting one or more of the submissions for potential distribution to the public, and allotting the proceeds from the distribution to the developers.

The invention discloses a method and device for preparing a graphical installation system of a Loongson platform. The method comprises the following steps of: generating a software repository applied to the Loongson platform; deleting content which is not supported by a Loongson architecture in an anaconda graphical installation system, setting the content supporting the Loongson architecture, and constructing a graphical installation program based on the anaconda graphical installation system after modification; placing kernel source codes of a Loongson into a catalog of a storage kernel of the anaconda graphical installation system, and performing kernel configuration to generate an installation kernel of the Loongson; and deleting the content which is not supported by the Loongson in a buildinstall script, loading a device driver and a kernel module which are suitable for the Loongson, and generating a mapping file of a memory virtual file system based on the buildinstall script after modification. According to the method and device disclosed by the invention, the installation way of the existing Loongson platform system is changed from the manual installation way to the automatic installation way, thus the installation time is saved.

A system and method for a new type of software repository and remote execution solution where any native application can be run from within a web page is disclosed. Users now have a much easier way to launch, run or execute any software directly from within a server or server cloud without the need to manually download and install. The system further allows software to run inside an isolated environment to protect user's local environment.

In one embodiment, tables are created in such a way that allows rich querying using standard database routines and other tools. This is accomplished by providing developers and repository users with a set of schema guidelines that describe how the software related items are to be categorized in the tables and how to use such tables for rich querying. For example, one such guideline provides for course-grained versioning of items (e.g., artifacts, metadata, etc.)—as opposed to the fine grained object principle of unit change found in most repository systems such as the entity-property-value scheme. The developers or providers then use these guidelines to optimally categorize, in a natural way, their metadata and other software related items for storing copies thereof in the repository.

The invention provides a cloud application deployment method and system. The method comprises the steps of acquiring deployment files of a target cloud application from a preset software repository, wherein the deployment files comprise a configuration file and a description file; parsing the description file to obtain deployment specification information of the target cloud application; generating a deployment template according to the configuration file and the deployment specification information; and deploying the target cloud application according to the deployment template. Through adoption of the method and system, according to different cloud application standard specifications and in different use scenes, the deployment files of the target cloud application are acquired so as to obtain corresponding deployment specification information, corresponding deployment template is generated, and then the target cloud application is deployed automatically, further, the target cloud application is deployed reliably and efficiently.

The invention provides a software-repository-based software management method, comprising the steps of receiving a user-input software installation command; autonomously acquiring, by a software repository program, an application template corresponding to the software according to the user-input software installation command, extracting a configuration file of the application template, and transmitting the configuration file to an application vessel engine; acquiring an image file of the application template from a private image library; analyzing a layout file of the application template to obtain layout file analysis results; executing an application vessel engine command to install the image file according to the layout file analysis results. The invention also relates to electronic equipment and a readable storage medium, for executing the software-repository-based software management method. Highly automated installation, upgrading and unloading of software are achieved through the design of software repository; the software repository supports various layout development environments so that cloud deployment is just as convenient as local development; a user may pay a visit just through a development generated domain name address via a browser, and software installation accuracy is high.

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for automatic upgrade and downgrade in package update operations. A physical or virtual client machine can host an installed software distribution including a set of installed software packages, such as an operating system, application, and / or other software. A package manager on the client can manage the set of installed packages, and report the installed distribution including version and component packages to one or more package servers. When a distribution upgrade is initiated, the package manager and / or other distribution logic can analyze the target distribution, to determine whether each package in the target distribution represents the most-current version of each component package. Packages which represent the most-current can be installed. Packages which do not represent the most-current version, e.g. due to slippage in vendor updates or versions, can be substituted with a most-current version automatically retrieved from a software repository or other source.

To provision software content from the different software repositories and manage updates to the repositories, a provisioning server can maintain a repository record. The repository record can include an identification of the repositories associated with the provisioning server. Additionally, the repository record can associate, with each identification of a repository, the type of repository, the software content contained in the repository, and provisioning objects associated with the software content contained in the repository. The provisioning server can be configured to utilize the repository record during provisioning processes for software content and for updating software content of target machines.

An online system ranks test cases run in connection with check-in of sets of software files in a software repository. The online system ranks the test cases higher if they are more likely to fail as a result of defects in the set of files being checked in. Accordingly, the online system informs software developers of potential defects in the files being checked in early without having to run the complete suite of test cases. The online system determines a vector representation of the files and test cases based on a neural network. The online system determines an aggregate vector representation of the set of files. The online system determines a measure of similarity between the test cases and the aggregate vector representation of the set of files. The online system ranks the test cases based on the measures of similarity of the test cases.
