Abstract

See full text

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for building software packages. This system operates by receiving files from a remote repository as each port is being built. Next, the system creates a batch file for each software package to be built, wherein the batch file specifies instructions for creating an executable file for each software package. These batch files are assigned to a plurality of queues such that the workload is divided substantially equally across the queues. During processing of the batch files, each queue is served by a virtual server from a plurality of virtual servers, wherein the plurality of virtual servers resides within one computing device, and wherein each virtual server of the plurality of virtual servers can provide essentially all services of a complete computing device. Finally, the system stores the executable file for each software package in a directory structure, wherein a user can select a software package for use.
