Re: [buckminster-dev] replace a plugin in buckminster

[Andreas Pakulat <apaku@xxxxxx>]

The file does have the updated version listed. I didn't increase the version 
itself before as the qualifier that was set was definetly higher. But I 
tried replacing the .0 with .1 and I can see that the .1 should be picked, 
nonetheless its almost as if my added code is not being executed.

I'll run buckminster with remote-debugger enabled now to see wether the code 
is actually getting into that function.
