Programmatic Creation Of Task Sequences From Manifests
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a computer, data representing a first manifest and a second manifest, the first manifest identifying at least some of a plurality of software components and the second manifest identifying at least some of the plurality of software components;
determining a first one of the software components that is identified by the second manifest and not identified by the first manifest;
generating, by the computer, a task sequence comprising instructions for installing the first one of the software components to a software stack; and
recording, by the computer, data representing the task sequence to a computer-readable medium.

8. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a computer, data representing a first manifest and a second manifest, the first manifest identifying at least some of a plurality of software components and the second manifest identifying at least some of the plurality of software components, wherein the first and second manifests each identify a version of a first one of the software components; comparing the version identified by the first manifest and the version identified by the second manifest; responsive to determining based on the comparing that the version identified by the second manifest is different from the version identified by the first manifest, generating a task sequence comprising instructions for de-installing from the software stack the first one of the software components and installing to the software stack the version of the first one of the software components identified by the second manifest; and recording, by the computer, data representing the task sequence to a computer-readable medium. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for a computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a computer, data representing a first manifest and a second manifest, the first manifest identifying at least some of a plurality of software components and the second manifest identifying at least some of the plurality of software components; determining a first one of the software components that is identified by the second manifest and not identified by the first manifest; and generating, by the computer, a task sequence comprising instructions for installing the first one of the software components to a software stack. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for a computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a computer, data representing a first manifest and a second manifest, the first manifest identifying at least some of a plurality of software components and the second manifest identifying at least some of the plurality of software components, wherein the first and second manifests each identify a version of a first one of the software components; comparing the version identified by the first manifest and the version identified by the second manifest; and responsive to determining based on the comparing that the version identified by the second manifest is different from the version identified by the first manifest, generating a task sequence comprising instructions for de-installing from the software stack the first one of the software components and installing to the software stack the version of the first one of the software components identified by the second manifest. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
