In golang-land it is popular to deal with this by vendoring all the packages you depend on. There are several tools to manage this like godep. This is my preferred method as it allows for the reliable, repeatable build you are talking about.

There are other schools of thought, like pinning the remote repos to specific commit-id. These are better than nothing, but still depends on 3rd party repos which I think is to risky for production code. It is great for earlier stages of a project when you are trying to work out the libraries you will use and also need to collaborate.
