i like this approach! coming from the web ecosystem, i like the familiarity of having something that looks like package.json and package-lock.json / yarn.lock, which explicitly shows which version of the library / package in use.

Thanks.

Yeah, the fixed versions are great. I'd like to add the ability to report upstream changes (including changelog). This way, my customers can have a fully detailed report of updates and security patches that are available for a specific build.

Just discovered this. Is it production ready? Is it installable via apt? I'm currently using brickstrap which is a shell script that invokes multistrap to build a rootfs for an embedded system. I cant' do repeatable builds of of older releases. This apt-tool seems to solve that problem, but is it production ready, mature, active, etc ???

I use it daily for a few projects at work.

I'd recommend to use it if you are interested.
