Abstract
A system and method for managing a population of devices and in particular, software updates and version control of applications across the population includes permitting a first device to receive an update from a publisher and generating an update manifest that is propagated to other devices in the population. Applications within a population of devices are selectively disabled and enabled to prevent multiple update versions of the same application across the population.
