Abstract: A system and method for providing a code release infrastructure with granular code patching is described. Code patches, each including at least one resource unit are provided. Each resource unit includes metadata and file components. Code libraries, each including at least one resource unit, are patched. The metadata for each resource unit in the code patches is compared to the metadata for each such corresponding resource unit in the code libraries. Each resource unit in the code patches is merged into the code libraries for each such corresponding resource unit that is out-of-date as defined by merge rules. Archive files, as defined by archive file definitions, are created or updated using the resource units from the code libraries, or, optionally, are deleted. The archive files are digitally signed also as required. The system and method enables source and derived code and third party code to be patched granularly.

Abstract translation: 描述了一种用于提供具有粒度代码补丁的代码释放基础设施的系统和方法。 提供了每个包括至少一个资源单元的代码补丁。 每个资源单元包括元数据和文件组件。 每个包含至少一个资源单元的代码库被修补。 代码块中每个资源单元的元数据与代码库中每个这样的相应资源单元的元数据进行比较。 代码补丁中的每个资源单元被合并到代码库中，用于每个由合并规则定义的过时的相应资源单元。 使用归档文件定义定义的归档文件将使用代码库中的资源单元创建或更新，或者，可选地，被删除。 归档文件也按照需要进行数字签名。 系统和方法使得源代码和派生代码和第三方代码能够被精细地修补。
