Makes me still wonder why we do this, is it a fallback for when the profiles aren't available (no tree yet) or something? It exports XARGS, which only used in the ___parallel_xargs function. That function in turn is used in 2 places. So all this stuff is done to add -r to xargs if xargs isn't BSD xargs. Iow --no-run-if-empty, which is cool, but apparently not strictly necessary (fugly warning I guess at worst). We're already checking xargs to support --max-procs=, so we could in the same go check for support of --no-run-if-empty, and drop the whole XARGS thing and declutter the code quite a lot :) Thanks, Fabian -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level
