Some weeks ago, there was a thread mentioning taskset, then part of schedutils. Someone mentioned that schedutils was being merged into util-linux, but the then-current util-linux versions (thru 2.12.x) in the tree didn't have it.
Well, util-linux-2.13, which includes schedutils, is now in the tree and unmasked at least to ~arch. Since schedutils is now included, schedutils and >=util-linux-2.13-pre block each other, so those who have schedutils merged will need to unmerge it to upgrade to util-linux-2.13. The good news is that with the upgrade, it's now part of a standard util- linux installation, and therefore part of a standard Linux installation. So those with multi-CPU/core machines wishing to control which cpu/core various tasks can run on (among other things schedutils made possible), now have the taskset utility available by default. =8^) Naturally, those running stable have a bit to wait for the new version to stabilize, unless they want to run ~arch for that package, of course. Meanwhile, the schedutils package is still around, should they want to use it with the older/stable util-linux. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
