#39491: moreutils conflicts with parallel ---------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: david@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Keywords: | Port: moreutils ---------------------+-------------------------------- The "parallel" port installs GNU parallel. "moreutils" also installs a utility called "parallel", but it is incompatible with (and less flexible than) GNU parallel. I want to be able to install GNU parallel at the same time as the other utilities from moreutils (like "ts"). Here's how other OSs solve this conflict: * Fedora doesn't provide the "parallel" utility at all in the moreutils package (I, personally, would be happy with this choice). * Ubuntu (and maybe Debian as well?) disables the "parallel" utility from moreutils if you install GNU parallel when moreutils is already installed (I would also be happy with this; does macports allow doing this?). Another option would be to add a "-parallel" variant to the "moreutils" port, and mark it so that it doesn't conflict with the "parallel" port. Is it possible to mark only a particular variant of a port as conflicting? Prior tickets: Ticket #30972 asked for this conflict to be resolved, but instead the two ports were explicitly marked as conflicting. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39491> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
