Managing build variants in a common repository

A method implemented by a computing system in response to execution of program code by a processor of the computing system, the method comprising:

• determining a required build result and first coordinates of a first variant coordinate system of a first code building system, the first coordinates associated with an execution environment of a target build result;
• determining second coordinates in a repository coordinate system associated with a seed component corresponding to the required build result, the seed component comprising a projection method between the repository coordinate system and a second variant coordinate system of a second code building system;
• determining third coordinates in the second variant coordinate system based on the first coordinates;
• determining fourth coordinates in the repository coordinate system based on the second coordinates, the third coordinates and the projection method;
• and
• retrieving the required build result based on the fourth coordinates.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing processor-executable process steps executable by the processor to cause the system to:
• determine first coordinates in a repository coordinate system associated with a seed component corresponding to a target build result of a first code building system, the seed component comprising a projection method between the repository coordinate system and a variant coordinate system of the first code building system;
• determine second coordinates in the variant coordinate system, the second coordinates associated with an execution environment of the target build result;
• determine third coordinates in the repository coordinate system based on the first coordinates, the second coordinates and the projection method;
• and
• associate the target build result with the third coordinates.
