Verziózárak

Verziózárak, a Hungarian term often translated as "version locks" or "version pinning," refers to a practice in software development and dependency management where specific versions of libraries, packages, or other software components are explicitly defined and enforced. This prevents the use of incompatible or unintended newer versions that could introduce bugs or break existing functionality.

The primary goal of verziózárak is to ensure reproducibility and stability. By locking dependencies to precise versions, developers can guarantee that their software will build and run consistently across different environments and at different times. This is crucial for collaborative projects, long-term maintenance, and for deploying software to production. Without version locking, a project might work perfectly on a developer's machine but fail when deployed because a dependency has been updated to a new, incompatible version.

Implementation of verziózárak typically involves configuration files specific to the package manager being used. For example, in Python projects using pip, a `requirements.txt` file can specify exact versions of dependencies. Similarly, in Node.js projects with npm or Yarn, the `package.json` file plays a vital role in defining and locking dependency versions. This practice helps mitigate the "dependency hell" problem, where managing conflicting or incompatible versions of software components becomes increasingly difficult.
