I agree with your criticism (i.e. that the mask should not be there, |
| 14 |
especially not for "testing" as what the mask does is *prevent* testing |
| 15 |
instead of enabling it), but must note that your version sorting |
| 16 |
algorithm appears to be flawed: pkg-vX_pY (for patch level) is always |
| 17 |
greater than pkg-vX. |
