A library stores individual component files of software distribution kits (SDKs) on a file storage server. When an SDK is to be added to the library, a file extractor copies component files from SDK volume master(s) and stores the copies in the library. The library includes a database to store information about the SDKs, such as how many SDK volumes are in each SDK and which component files are in each SDK volume. The database also stores the name and version of each SDK, thereby enabling a user to browse the library and select an SDK, or an individual SDK volume, for production. An SDK builder then creates the selected SDK volume(s). The SDK builder can “burn” CDs using, for example, a CD burner connected to the user's computer or a central, high-capacity robotic CD burner.
