This is entirely not trivial at the moment. Hopefully after the dictization it will become more so. Simply putting in the package revision object in place of the package does not work. It will obviously work for changes to the package object itself. However, there are no mappers on that object for getting out the related package_tags, resources and extras at that revision. You will have to construct a fake pkg object with some messy and painful queries using dates.

The basic revision history is merged. I will keep this ticket open if it is not sufficient.

All it does is give a list with the most recent first of revision_ids, authors and timestamps.

i.e

[{"timestamp": "2011-03-16T15:55:19.941961",
  "author": "southampton-ac-uk",
  "revision": "202e9eb8-afaa-4bc9-b8a1-a317561547ea"},
 {"timestamp": "2011-03-15T17:59:16.430804",
 "author": "southampton-ac-uk",
 "revision": "8235bd0a-d39a-49e0-887a-b0f231be8a92"}]

As I understand it, the whole point to vdm is to make it easy to get old versions of not only the package, but its related objects (like tags, extras). David take a look at this function: Package.get_as_of(revision)
