Clear summary of all software versions

[CDx4f3kCAf3Y]

I am not sure if there is something like this already in place.

I think it would be useful to have a clear summary in one place of all the software (and their versions) that this project depends on.

This would make it easy to check if the project depended on any vulnerable software.

Some initial ideas on what this list would contain:

• Base OS
• Any libraries dynamically linked against or compiled in
• Any external software called directly

I think this should be collected and reported during run-time. For the libraries compiled in, it doesn't matter so much (build or run time). For everything else, if the system or a specific software package is updated, the report should reflect the new versions.

Perhaps this could be reported under the main System page, in a new table called Versions. This tab would be to the right of the System heading (which could turn into a tab too).

This is included in 0.30.1

Tested with c8d55bb. This is a very nice start!

Instead of literal tabs, would it be possible to do like what was done on the Recordings page?

• The first row currently contains the section name and the restart button
• The first row would become the section name, then switching buttons between System/Versions, and then the restart button.
  • It would same a bit on vertical space and look more consistent with the rest of the web interface.

Hmmm, I am actually a big fan of the new tabs on system page -- might be possible to organize the first tab better by breaking out recording storages to its own tab too. Ill think more about consistency.

The tabs and buttons both look nice. It's just when cycling quickly through all the sections that the discrepancies really start to show. I put into #262 some ideas on overall improvement.
