Abstract

A method, system and computer-readable medium for configuration file sharing are presented. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes the steps of: creating, in a controller, a superset registry file that includes old registry data, new registry data, and kindred registry data, wherein the old registry data and the new registry data are incompatible, and wherein the kindred registry data is compatible with both the old registry data and the new registry data; and contemporaneously downloading the kindred registry data and software version-specific registry data, selected from the old registry data and the new registry data, to a requesting client.
