Most of them are nice to have, but they still ship an incompatible suboptimal parallel, which you explicitly have to check against in your configure, if you expect GNU parallel.
Name it at least c-parallel
- stingraycharles 5y agoOh so that’s it! I use GNU parallel a lot, and installed moreutils yesterday, and parallel seemed to behave a bit… different. Couldn’t quite understand why, as I didn’t expect moreutils to replace parallel when you install them. I’m using Arch, btw.
- rurban 5y agoThey wanted to get rid of perl, so someone reimplemented 60% of it in C. Nobody continued with the rest, and so it's just annoyance.
- kefyras 5y agoI'm sorry, what? First, moreutils package installs its parallel as parallel-moreutils. Second, pacman (like any other pm) wouldn't allow overwriting files belonging to other packages.
