Software updates by computational machines in a distributed system are facilitated by a server system that receives a master update from a remote server outside to the distributed system. The server system, which is in the distributed system, generates from the master update a first group of update metadata comprising less than all of master update and sends to a first plurality of computational machines in the distributed system first update materials, including the first group of update metadata and first filter criteria specifying characteristics of computational machines that are to locally store the first group of update metadata. A respective computational machine that satisfies the first filter criteria locally stores the first group of update metadata, obtains first update files based on the first group of update metadata, and updates one or more software programs using the first update files.

Software application updating in a local network

A method of updating software, performed by respective machines in a linear communication orbit includes, at a local server executed by a respective machine, receiving, via the linear communication orbit, update metadata. At an update module executed by the respective machine, an update module evaluates software version information using the update metadata to determine a set of one or more updates to be applied to one or more software programs. A patch module sends, via the linear communication orbit, requests for one or more software update files corresponding to the set of one or more updates, and receives the one or more software update files corresponding to the set of one or more updates. The update module then updates the one or more of the software programs by applying the received one or more software update files to the one or more of the software programs.
