More Information
Summary:Software builds can be constructed according to previously recorded software repository metadata. For example, a computing device can record, by a first application programming interface, metadata for a software repository at various times. The metadata can include a timestamp indicating a time that the metadata was recorded. The computing device can receive a metadata request for metadata for the software repository at a particular time. The first application programming interface can determine a latest timestamp that precedes the particular time. The computing device can provide the client device with access to the metadata associated with the latest timestamp for use in producing a software build having characteristics of the metadata at the particular time.
