Abstract:
In one implementation, a method is provided for bundling software updates for an enterprise. According to the method, the software updates are received, stored in a database, and associated with the bundle. At one or more predetermined checkpoints, the method checks for additional software updates and, if additional software updates are available, receives the additional software updates and associates the additional software updates with the bundle. The method further comprises freezing contents of the bundle at a predetermined bundle content freeze point. After the bundle content freeze point, additional software updates are not associated with the bundle.
