Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: pre-computing solutions for a potential user issue, said pre-computing being performed independently of a configuration of a user system, said pre-computing including: identifying a minimum patch solution including only an earliest patch addressing said potential user issue, and at least one patch upon which said earliest patch depends; identifying a best-like-minimum patch solution derived from said minimum patch solution by replacing said earliest patch of said minimum patch solution with a successor patch meeting a criterion without introducing any new dependencies, said successor patch of said best-like-minimum patch solution addressing said potential user issue and depending upon said at least one patch upon which said earliest patch depends; and in response to an actual user issue arising after said pre-computing and corresponding to said potential user issue, providing said minimum patch solution or said best-like-minimum patch solution to a user.
