1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a computer, a single combined task sequence generated from a plurality separate task sequences with a separate start point for each of the plurality separate task sequences, the single combined task sequence further comprising instructions for;
(a) combining a first image and a second image to form a third image,(b) installing a first software stack on the computer from a fourth image stored in logically protected region of a computer-readable medium, and(c) installing a software component stored in a logically protected region of the computer-readable medium to a second software stack already installed on the computer;
receiving, at the computer, an indication of the separate start point to begin executing the single combined task sequence for each of the plurality of separate of task sequences andexecuting, by the computer, the single combined task sequence beginning at the separate start point.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems for handling multiple invocation points in a software build task sequence are described. A computer may receive a task sequence. The task sequence may include instructions for combining a first image and a second image to form a third image, installing a first software stack on the computer from a fourth image, and installing a software component to a second software stack already installed on the computer. The computer may receive an indication of a start point to begin executing the task sequence, and may execute the task sequence beginning at the start point.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for performing a single combined task sequence generated from a plurality of separate task sequences, the single combined task sequence further comprising instructions for:
-
(a) combining a first image and a second image to form a third image; (b) installing a first software stack on the computer from a fourth image stored in a logically protected region of a computer-readable medium; and (c) installing a software component stored in the logically protected region of the computer-readable medium, to a second software stack already installed on the computer, wherein the computer-readable medium further stores an indication of a separate start point to begin executing the single combined task sequence, the separate start point corresponding to one of (a), (b), and (c). - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for performing a single combined task sequence of separate sequences generated from a plurality of separate task sequences, the single combined task sequence further comprising instructions for; (a) combining a first image and a second image to form a third image, (b) installing a first software stack on the computer from a fourth image stored in a logically protected region of a computer-readable medium, and (c) installing a software component stored in the logically protected region of the computer-readable medium, to a second software stack already installed on the computer, wherein the computer-readable medium further stores an indication of a separate start point to begin executing the single combined task sequence, the start point corresponding to one of (a), (b), and (c); and a processor configured to execute the single combined task sequence beginning at the start point. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
