Please look at the buildout.cfg, you can see this useful comments there:

# Don't let Buildout choose itself the versions, and make it repeatable.
# You should pin down versions in the [versions] section.
allow-picked-versions = false

# To discover dependencies, comment the line above, uncomment the line below,
# relaunch the buildout, then copy/paste the output to the [versions] section.
#extensions = buildout.dumppickedversions

I think we need a chapter about using Buidout.
I just noted it down here:
