closedCreate method for installing multiple packages at once (with versions)
Description
Hello,
Currently the method install package with version can only handle one package at time if we want to install multiple packages with the same version (usually are part of the same source) we need to create a method for each package. Would be nice to be able to install all those packages using one method.
Regards,
Peter
EDIT FAR: To expand and generalize on that, we need generic method to manage multiple packages at ounce, and that the whole list if considered as a whole (i.e: only one report for the whole). The typicall use case is to manage an entreprise software base ("in our servers, all these 125 tools are present on that version")
Ideally, we want to have a flexible input format, something like:
mypackage1 mypackage2 => 3.12.4 mypackage3 ...
So that we can both specify a given version or not (meaning "last available"). The "=>" is just an idea, it has the advantage that we are sure that it is not used in version number (yes, I did saw package versions with ":" in them).

This will likely be done with loops and not a specific method
