It's nice that this is getting some traction again. FWIW as a user who'd like to install moreutils but is too addicted to GNU parallel to give it up I'd prefer a situation where the moreutils parallel command is split up into its own package, and I can then pick & GNU parallel + (moreutils - parallel), or even just make "moreutils" some meta-package that installs the individual scripts in it.
While looking through dependencies in Debian is certainly informative these utilities are also heavily used ad-hoc on the command-line. I'd *really* like not to have to type "parallel --gnu" every time I use parallel, and I bet those used to the moreutils parallel have similar concerns. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
