A software repository offering a software package or a computing system downloading a software package can utilize a security tool to verify the security of the software package. The security tool can check and verify that the software package is secure utilizing a black list of components. To check the security, the security tool can compare the components (archival files) of the software package to the the black list. A black list can include a list of components that are known to be insecure.

A software distribution architecture having a television broadcast system as its infrastructure. Software from a software repository (1600) is mixed into a television broadcast system and transmitted into one or more selected channels at prescribed dates and times. An at-home subscriber, capable of receiving with a receiver (1608) the one or more select channels, switches to the one or more channels carrying the software distribution with a channel selector (1611). The subscriber, having programmed a controller (1616) with a programmer (1620) for the date, time, software ID, and channel of the software broadcast, then downloads the software package to a storage device (1622) for ultimate transfer to a PC (1624). A validation and accounting system (1628) then records the software download transaction and transmits this information over a PSTN (1632) to a provider accounting system (1630) such that the subscriber is billed for the software package which was downloaded.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, computer program products, and data structures for software repositories. Embodiments of the invention permit a user to group software related items from a software repository in repository container versions such that software related items can be accessed and processed together. A user has wide discretion on how software related items are grouped in repository container versions to facilitate efficient access and processing in varied computing environments. In some embodiments, software related items are grouped in the same repository container version based on component version such that all the software related items for a specified version of an application, framework, or service can be accessed and processed together. Accordingly, operations (e.g., replication or partitioning) can be performed on all the software related items in the repository container version to effectuate performing the operation on the specified version of the application, framework, or service.

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.

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.

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.

The invention provides an interactive code searching method based on structured embedding, which comprises the following steps: firstly, extracting a software storage library and a model corpus of a code-description matching pair from collected original data, then, carrying out word segmentation on the code storage library and the model corpus, then, constructing pre-trained structured embedding by adopting a preset tool, extracting high-quality model corpus and dividing the high-quality model corpus, then, constructing an interactive code search model NICS sequentially comprising a feature extraction module, an interactive attention extraction module and a similarity matching module, setting a hinge loss function of a training network, embedding and loading a pre-trained structured word into the interactive code search NICS model, training the NICS model, and finally predicting a to-be-processed query by utilizing the trained NICS model to obtain a code search result corresponding tothe query. According to the method, the code snippets can be effectively searched, and the most advanced performance is obtained in all benchmark tests.

A system and method for searching a software database to locate summaries of software modules, methods and classes that pertain to keywords extracted from a formulation of a software problem. The software problem formulation is parsed to extract keywords pertaining to the subject matter of the problem. The extracted keywords are then arranged into a query, which is submitted to a software module database. Software module summaries obtained from software module databases in response to the query are sorted and formatted for display to a user, who may then study the displayed summaries to determine which software modules to investigate further in order to develop a possible solution to the reported software problem.

A software repository can capture and record a universal unique identifier (UUID) associated with a software package manager accessing the software repository. To capture the UUID, the software repository can be encoded as a base Universal Resource Locator (URL) that includes a redirection (e.g. undefined field) to capture the UUIDs of the software package managers. Once captured, the UUIDs can be stored in a record along with any other relevant information such as the software packages downloaded, the date/time of download, and the like.
