Reproduceable (taggable) buildouts
==================================
Repeatable (taggable) buildouts
===============================
It's important to be able to tag a buildout in a software repository
in such a way that, months, or even years later, the buildout tag can
be checked out and used to construct the same collection of parts,
with the same versions. (Note that parts could still nehave
with the same versions. (Note that parts could still behave
differently due to changes in parts of the environment, such as system
libraries, not controlled by the buildout.)

resolution of dependencies. The latest versions of dependencies are
automatically downloaded and installed. This is great during
development or when using the buildout for casual software
development, but it doesn't work very well for repoduceablity.

What's needed is some way to, when needed, record information about
the versions of eggs (and any other bits) whos versions are determined
dynamically.

......@@ -25,7 +26,7 @@ We'll add a buildout option, create-repeatable. The option will
specify a file into which option information should be saved to create
a repeatable buildout. The data will be saved in a form that can be
used by the buildout or recipes in a later run. To make a tagged
buildout, a user would run the buildout with the record-versions
buildout, a user would run the buildout with the create-repeatable
option set to a file name and then modify the buildout to be
extended-by this file.
