Methods, systems, and apparatuses for publishing, acquiring, and servicing of related software packages together. Flexible yet robust software package version control through joint servicing using atomic sets, including business software applications and consumer software applications, is performed by client and developer devices in conjunction with a host server. Developers and publishers develop and provide applications and assign specific, related versions of software packages, that are jointly operable per atomic sets embodied in atomic set manifests, in software program bundles for acquisition by end users. Adherence to jointly serviced software packages using atomic sets is performed by client devices and/or servers in a manner that is transparent to the end user. The end user is enabled to acquire all or less than all software packages that make up an atomic set, yet each software package acquired adheres to the version requirements set forth by the atomic set.
