packagine.versions is a very convenient way to compare package versions
for compatibility support. However, we cannot expect that the Open edX
deployment will have
packaging
installed.This commit undos the dependency on
packaging
which was introducedthrough backporting
django_filters
version checking to handle breakingchanges between the versions. Instead we added a crude version parsing
function into
figures.filters
and currently only use it fordjango_filters
which has the major, minor, and point versions in theusual 'x.y.z' dot delimited numeric format. So this will work for Django
Filter but no guarantee for all packages.
