Abstract
A technique controls a new software build. The technique involves receiving abstract hash values for source code components. Each abstract hash value is derived from a most recent source code version of a respective source code component. The technique further involves generating new build fingerprints based on the abstract hash values. The new build fingerprints are different from the abstract hash values received for the source code components. The technique further involves building particular software components of the new software build based on comparisons between the new build fingerprints and respective previous build fingerprints generated during a set of previous software builds.
