I like vim-packager better than minpac because of its more useful feedback during install and update operations.
It would be nice in my use case to have an equivalent to vim-plug's PlugSnapshot command, which writes a vim buffer with the current plugins and their commit IDs, like so:
" Generated by vim-plug
" Mon 26 Sep 2022 02:36:23 PM MDT
" :source this file in vim to restore the snapshot
" or execute: vim -S snapshot.vim

PlugUpdate!
I write this to a file that I keep alongside vimrc in my dotfiles.git. If I ever update plugins and things break, I can revert the update by running the above vimscript. With this scheme, I can also revert to any previous version of my vim setup and easily replicate a setup to another computer.
