Software package-based online automatic updating method for open source operating system of mobile terminal

Abstract

The invention discloses a software package-based online automatic updating method for an open source operating system of a mobile terminal, which relates to the field of mobile terminal software and is applied to the open source operating system of the mobile terminal. By the method, the remote automatic updating of system software can be realized by taking a package as a unit, and convenience isbrought to the rehabilitation of security holes and the installation of the operating system. The method comprises the two aspects that: a server automatically finishes structuring and publishing thesoftware package, acquires all source codes of the operating system from an open source site, automatically divides and structures a proper software package, determines the updating information of the software package according to the version information and dependency of the source codes, and publishes the software package by utilizing a network; and the mobile terminal serving as a software package acquirer and user automatically checks the updating information by client software, and downloads and updates the system by taking the software package as the unit to fulfill the aim of automaticonline updating. The method has the characteristics of high degree of automation and the like, and is easy to deploy in large scale and use.
