Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A merge module is a special kind of Windows Installer database that contains the components needed to install a discrete software bundle. A merge module cannot be installed alone, but must be merged into a standard Windows Installer installation during the creation of the installation. Typically, a merge module or a collection of merge modules related by Coupling computer science dependencies , installs a software product or portion of a product at runtime. The purpose of merge modules is to let you add self contained software modules to multiple installations. For example, if there are a number of applications that require a specifically configured component, it would be possible to create a merge module that installs and configures that component. That merge module could then be added to the installation packages of each product that required that particular component. This saves the effort of having to individually add the necessary files, Windows Registry registry entries, and other components to every installation. It also saves time if updates are needed, as instead of updating the installations for all five applications, only the merge module is updated, and the installations only need to be rebuilt. Some merge modules may be configurable merge modules. Such merge modules contain certain values that can be set to specify how the module behaves in your installation. For example, the author of the configurable merge module may allow attributes to be set on components, enable or disable isolated components, specify a bitmap for a dialog, or specify how a custom action is run. Configurable merge modules are supported only by Windows Installer 2.0 or higher.

Orphan date February 2009 The merge window is a software development process which is sometimes used by large projects. The merge window is a period of time that occurs directly after the release of a new version of the software. During this time, lots of patches are merged and hence have a long time to get scrutinized and tested before the next release. The Linux kernel have used the merge window process since July 2005 with the release of version 2.6.14, since then every 2.6.x release has been followed by a two week merge window. This causes a lot of work for the project maintainers who have to merge all the patches. The process may be slitted up with people who inspect, approve and merge the patches.
