Abstract
A method for assembling an update for a software release is described, comprising defining classes of software components, each class comprising one or more instances of the class, each instance having a unique identifier, each instance representing a software component, which has one or more version; for each version of a software component, assigning time stamps and indicators identifying status of the version; introducing a flexible coupling between versions of components and instances of classes by providing a pointer between a version of a component and a unique identifier of an instance of a class; selecting versions of software components from which pointers originate; for each instance of the class, to which the pointer points at, selecting one version of the software component based on the assigned indicators; and assembling the selected versions of software components into the update of the software release. A corresponding system is also provided.
