Description

We need to start thinking this through:

  1. how to generate a list of externals for a system
  2. how to store them in the system (are there insurmountable drawbacks to dictionaries? should it be in a separate file than system.py?)
  3. how to check if the stored externals are out of date
  4. how to accept changes
  5. how to determine multiple versions for an available library, how to subselect (one could possibly want to specify the lowest version to keep)
  6. how to treat some as variants - setting a default, possibly not including oldest or newest (not yet tested) versions
  7. how to update the list and test the newest versions of the software stack (possibly one at a time? this would be slow but maybe more deterministic - or, test all, then bisect from there if there are problems?)
