Lockfiles

Warning

This is an experimental feature subject to breaking changes in future releases.

Lockfiles are files that store the information of a dependency graph, including the exact versions, revisions, options, and configuration of that dependency graph. These files allow for later achieving reproducible results, and installing or using the exact same dependencies even when the requirements are not fully reproducible, for example when using version ranges or using package revisions.
