Abstract:
A computing device can receive, from a version control system, a first set of pre-computed checksums for source files for a software program. The computing device can receive, from the version control system, a second set of pre-computed checksums for a second set of source files for the software program. The computing device can determine a first total checksum by combining the first set of pre-computed checksums. The computing device can also determine a second total checksum by combining the first set of pre-computed checksums. The computing device can determine, by comparing the first total checksum to the second total checksum, that the first set of source files was previously built by the build engine. The computing device can then prevent the build engine from re-building the first set of source files.
