Abstract
A software release system includes a customization copier and a ship list file. The ship list file enumerates a set of files contained in the new software release and includes a revision indicator, a file size and a checksum for each file in the new software release. The customization copier detects customizations to an old release by analyzing the revision indicators, the file sizes and the checksums.
