Methods, systems and computer products for a dynamic repository

A computer systems software development service offering system for providing software packages, the computer systems software development service offering system comprising:

• a provider computer processor associated with a program unit and a repository, wherein the provider computer processor is cooperatively coupled to a client computer;
• a computer executable program residing in the program unit, wherein the computer executable program when executed by the provider computer processor causes the provider computer processor to:
• run a tool that creates a set of index files, wherein the set of index files includes a menu of a plurality of software packages in the repository, the plurality of software packages including a first software package built for a first version of an operating system;
• receive, from a client system running a second version of the operating system, a selection request for a second software package built for the second version of the operating system;
• determine that the second software package is not included in the menu of the plurality of software packages requested from the client system;
• sending a first notification to the client system that the second software package requested from the client system is not available but can be supplied on demand;
• in response to determining that the second software package corresponding to the second version of the operating system is not included in the menu of the plurality of software packages, dynamically create, a third software package on the fly based on receiving the selection request, the dynamically creating comprising:
• send a second notification to the client system indicating that the third software package, in place of the second software package, is now being dynamically created on demand, such that the second notification includes an audio indicator and a visual indicator;
• retrieve an applicable reusable content from the first software package built for the first version of the operating system;
• and
• generate a new set of index files containing new index file data in the menu in which the new index file data represents the third software package built for the second version of the operating system, wherein the new index file data represents that the third software package for the second version can be created on demand by reusing the applicable reusable content of the first software package for the first version of the operating system;
• deliver to the client system the third software package;
• and
• populate the repository with the third software package.
