Abstract

Techniques for software dependency management are described, including receiving a query at a repository configured to store a file identifying a dependency between an application and an update, the query being configured to request retrieval and implementation of the update with the application, parsing the query to identify the update and a version of the update configured to modify the application, generating a ranking associated with the update and the version using output from a machine-learning module configured to be trained against data associated with a community, and other data associated with analyzing an issue associated with the update or the version, providing a response to the query, receiving another query requesting the update or the version, retrieving the update and the version, and implementing the update or the version, the update or the version being implemented in response to the another query.
