Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes identifying a bad fix to a software product, where the software product includes a plurality of parts, and where the bad fix presents an error into a first part. A plurality of fixes to the software product, including the bad fix, are representable by a dependency graph indicating dependencies among the plurality of fixes. The dependency graph is recursively traversed to identify a subset of fixes that are dependent on the bad fix, where each fix in the subset of fixes includes a respective set of parts, and to add a reference to a respective most recent version of each part of each fix in the subset of fixes to a parts datastore. A remedial part and each part referenced in the parts datastore are packaged into a remedial fix, where the remedial part includes a correction to the error in the first part.
