Is the 'versions' name in the [buildout] section meaningful to buildout?
The versions option in the buildout section specifies the name of a section containing version information.

OK.

what are the keys in a version section? just egg versions or something else?
project names

Not sure what a "project name" is in buildout parlance.

See Tres' explanation.



As best I can tell, it seems to be a recipe name used in a part.

No.

What's the different between:

[buildout]
parts = foo
versions = versions

[versions]
spam = 1

[foo]
recipe = spam

...and:

[buildout]
parts = foo

[foo]
recipe = spam == 1


There is no effective difference between these two examples. Often a buildout refers to the same project more than once. Using versions affects all uses. Using versions also applies to dependencies.
