Automatically updating a shared project build platform

摘要

The present disclosure relates to building a software development project using a shared build module common to development projects targeting a specific software platform. According to one embodiment, a development system requests, from a centralized repository, version information for a latest version of a shared build module associated with a software platform targeted by the development project. The development system determines to replace a local copy of the shared build module with the latest version of the shared build module based, at least in part, on a comparison between version information for the local copy and the version information for the latest version of the shared build module. The development system builds the software development project using the local copy of the shared build module.
