Computing system for managing software dependencies in a private data store

A method executed by a processor of a client computing device, the method comprising:

• transmitting a first identifier for a target software package to a first server computing device that is in network communication with the client computing device, the first server computing device including a public data store comprising a first plurality of software packages, the first plurality of software packages including the target software package and dependent software packages of the target software package, wherein the first server computing device transmits identifiers for the dependent software packages to the client computing device responsive to identifying the dependent software packages using the first identifier;
• responsive to receiving the identifiers from the first server computing device, transmitting the first identifier and the identifiers to a second server computing device that is in network communication with the client computing device, the second server computing device including a private data store comprising a second plurality of software packages, the second plurality of software packages failing to include a dependent software package in the dependent software packages, wherein the second server computing device transmits a second identifier for the dependent software package to the client computing device responsive to ascertaining, using the first identifier and the identifiers, that the second plurality of software packages fails to include the dependent software package;
• responsive to receiving the second identifier from the second server computing device, transmitting the second identifier to the first server computing device, wherein the first server computing device retrieves the dependent software package from the public data store using the second identifier, wherein the first server computing device transmits the dependent software package to the client computing device;
• and
• responsive to receiving the dependent software package from the first server computing device, transmitting the dependent software package to the second server computing device, wherein the second server computing device stores the dependent software package in the private data store.

A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a client computing device, cause the processor to perform acts comprising:

• receiving input from a user of the client computing device, the input indicative of a target software package;
• responsive to receiving the input, transmitting, based on the input, a first identifier for the target software package to a first server computing device that is in network communication with the client computing device, the first server computing device including a public data store comprising a first plurality of software packages, the first plurality of software packages including the target software package and dependent software packages of the target software package, wherein the first server computing device transmits identifiers for the dependent software packages to the client computing device responsive to identifying the dependent software packages using the first identifier;
• subsequent to receiving the identifiers from the first server computing device, transmitting the first identifier and the identifiers to a second server computing device that is in network communication with the client computing device, the second server computing device including a private data store comprising a second plurality of software packages, the second plurality of software packages failing to include a dependent software package in the dependent software packages, wherein the second server computing device transmits a second identifier for the dependent software package to the client computing device responsive to ascertaining, using the first identifier and the identifiers, that the second plurality of software packages fails to include the dependent software package;
• subsequent to receiving the second identifier from the second server computing device, transmitting the second identifier to the first server computing device, wherein the first server computing device retrieves the dependent software package from the public data store using the second identifier;
• and
• responsive to receiving the dependent software package from the first server computing device, transmitting the dependent software package to the second server computing device, wherein the second server computing device stores the dependent software package in the private data store.
