Source code file retrieval

A method comprising:

• receiving a query from a client device, the query comprising a specified build identifier and a specified source code file name;
• determining, by a server device, a source code file from a plurality of archives using the specified build identifier and the specified source code file name, wherein determining the source code file comprises matching a longest shared prefix of the archive name associated with the specified build identifier and an archive name from a set of archive names having archived file names corresponding to the specified source code file name;
• and
• after the determining, responding to the query with the source code file.

A computing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory comprising machine readable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
• scan a plurality of archives to create a first relational database between build identifiers and archive names of the plurality of archives;
• scan the plurality of archives to create a second relational database between build identifiers and source code file names within the archives;
• scan the plurality of archives to create a third relational database between the archive names and archived file names, the archived file names being names of files within the archives;
• receive a query from a client device, the query comprising a specified build identifier and a specified source code file name;
• and
• respond to the query using the first relational database, second relational database, and third relational database and by matching a longest shared prefix of the archive name associated with the specified build identifier and an archive name from a set of archive names having archived file names corresponding to the specified source code file name.
