Hi, The next parallel release from that in the package (20110322) includes the --tollef switch and a site-wide config file (/etc/parallel/config) to address this issue.
Thus parallel can install by default with --tollef activated in the config file, replacing the /usr/bin/parallel executable without breaking scripts. Or if this (the replacement) is not wanted for any reason, then the alternatives mechanism could be used. I 'll have a closer look at the available options and come back with the next version of the package, that will also close #597050. Meanwhile, any ideas or suggestions are welcomed. regards George Zarkadas Στις 11-04-2011, ημέρα Δευ, και ώρα 16:10 -0400, ο/η Joey Hess έγραψε: > George Zarkadas wrote: > > It builds these binary packages: > > parallel - Execute jobs in parallel locally or using remote computers > > I have not figured out what to do about moreutils containing a > /usr/bin/parallel that is not entirely command-line compatable with this > one. #597050 > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
