Abstract
Queued software patches are analyzed before one patch is chosen as the next patch to be integrated into a working build. The chosen patch might not be next in chronological order of arrival at the queue. Instead, an illustrative build server applies a number of priority factors to every patch awaiting integration in the patch queue, specifically by analyzing one or more relevant attributes of the patch. The patch that receives the highest priority score in the course of the evaluation is then extracted for integration. After the patch has been integrated, the build server (e.g., using an illustrative patch queue manager module) circles back and again evaluates all the patches in the current queue, which may have queued new patches that were submitted while the previous patch was being integrated. Relative to a default chronological order, a given patch may receive a boost in priority or, conversely, may have its priority reduced.
