What I learned so far: - The developer of GNU parallel says that the first version of his program would date back to 2001, but version control was introduced much later. He argues that renaming on a per-distribution basis would cause problems between machines running different distributions, since GNU parallel runs itself on remote machines while distributing the work load. - The problem for the parallel of moreutils seems to be that a lot of other things depend on this. So they are not wanting to rename either. - The Fedora packager of moreutils thinks that splitting up moreutils into a core package and a parallel sub-package is a bad idea, since it might be the case that on a multiuser system both packages ought to be used. - Personally, I really don't like the idea of a conflict between GNU parallel and the moreutils package, since moreutils is a collection of different tools and I can think of users that want to use tools from that, but the GNU implementation of parallel. So, what is the least bad solution? I don't know yet... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
