Description
We need to start thinking this through:
- how to generate a list of externals for a system
- how to store them in the system (are there insurmountable drawbacks to dictionaries? should it be in a separate file than system.py?)
- how to check if the stored externals are out of date
- how to accept changes
- how to determine multiple versions for an available library, how to subselect (one could possibly want to specify the lowest version to keep)
- how to treat some as variants - setting a default, possibly not including oldest or newest (not yet tested) versions
- 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?)
