I was working on the prototype for piuparts, to test that Debian packages can be installed, upgraded, and purged without leaving behind any files.

I needed something to order Debian package files in order by version number. I don't remember why I didn't use an existing tool, but I wrote a shell script to do this.

A self-modifying, recursive shell script.

I never committed it to version control and I have carefully wiped all disks.

Please forgive me.
