Systems and methods for incremental software development

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, from a development environment, a modification of source code for a first library of a plurality of binary libraries;

identifying, by a processor, a second library of the plurality of libraries based on dependency metadata of the second library that indicates a dependency of the second library on the modified source code, the dependency metadata of the second library including a hash value to verify the identity of the second library, source code for the second library being inaccessible to the development environment;

determining, based on the identification of the second library, that the modified source code necessitates a modification to the second library;

in response to the determination, providing access to the source code for the second library to the development environment; and

causing the development environment to present the source code for the second library.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

retrieving dependency information identifying the plurality of binary libraries from among a second plurality of binary libraries comprising the plurality of binary libraries; and

identifying the plurality of libraries based on the dependency information.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a request to retrieve binary libraries associated with a code version identifier; and

identifying the plurality of binary libraries based on the code version identifier.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, via the development environment, a request to modify the source code for the first library; and

in response to the receiving of the request, retrieving the source code for the first library.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of binary libraries is sufficient for building a software project, the method further comprising:

receiving the plurality of binary libraries without receiving source code for the plurality of binary libraries.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to the determination, providing, by the development environment, a notification that the received modification necessitates the modification to the second library.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

compiling the modified source code to produce compiled source code;

building a revised version of a software project using the compiled modified code and the plurality of binary libraries;

testing the revised version of the software project; and

based on results of the testing, updating dependency data for the software project.

8. A system comprising at least one processor and a plurality of modules providing instructions to be executed by the at least one processor, the modules comprising:

a development environment to:

identify a modification of source code for a first library of a plurality of binary libraries, the modification made in a development environment;

identify a second library of the plurality of libraries based on dependency metadata of the second library that indicates a dependency of the second library on the modified source code, the dependency metadata of the second library including a hash value to verify the identity of the second library, source code for the second library being inaccessible to the development environment;

determine, based on the identification of the second library by the at least one processor, that the modified source code necessitates a modification to the second library;

in response to the determination, providing access to the source code for the second library to the development environment; and

cause the development environment to present the source code for the second library.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the development environment is further to:

retrieve dependency information identifying the plurality of binary libraries from among a second plurality of binary libraries comprising the plurality of binary libraries; and

identify the plurality of libraries based on the dependency information.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the development environment is further to:

receive a request to modify the source code for the first library; and

in response to the receiving of the request, retrieving the source code for the first library.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of binary libraries is sufficient for building a software project, and wherein the development environment is further to:

receive the plurality of binary libraries without receiving source code for the plurality of binary libraries.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the development environment is further to:

in response to the determination, provide a notification that the received modification necessitates the modification to the second library.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the development environment is further to:

compile the modified source code to produce compiled source code;

build a revised version of a software project using the compiled modified code and the plurality of binary libraries;

test the revised version of the software project; and

based on results of the test, update dependency data for the software project.

14. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

detecting, in a development environment, a modification of source code for a first library of a set of binary libraries;

identifying a second library of the plurality of libraries based on dependency metadata of the second library that indicates a dependency of the second library on the modified source code, the dependency metadata of the second library including a hash value to verify the identity of the second library, source code for the second library being inaccessible to the development environment;

determining, based on the identification of the second library, that the modified source code necessitates a modification to the second library;

in response to the determination, providing access to the source code for the second library to the development environment; and

causing the development environment to present the source code for the second library.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:

retrieving dependency information identifying the plurality of binary libraries from among a second plurality of binary libraries comprising the plurality of binary libraries; and

identifying the plurality of libraries based on the dependency information.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a request, via the development environment, to modify the source code for the first library; and

in response to the receiving of the request, retrieving the source code for the first library.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of binary libraries is sufficient for building a software project, and wherein the operations further comprise receiving the plurality of binary libraries without receiving source code for the plurality of binary libraries.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:

in response to the determination, providing, by the development environment, a notification that the received modification necessitates the modification to the second library.
