#39491: moreutils conflicts with parallel ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: david@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: moreutils parallel | ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by david@…):
We could go crazy and make a separate subport for each program that moreutils installs
I think that's overkill. I'm not aware of any name clashes with the other moreutils utilities. I've attached patch "0001-moreutils-New-parallel-variant.patch", which adds a "parallel" variant to the moreutils port. "moreutils +parallel" won't install if you already have installed the "parallel" port. However, I couldn't find a way to tell the "parallel" port that it conflicts if you already have installed the "moreutils +parallel" variant. I don't think this is currently supported by macports, and it is beyond the scope of this patch. I've chosen to *not* make "+parallel" the default, because GNU parallel is more featureful and more like xargs. This follows the example of Fedora, whose moreutils package doesn't contain "parallel" at all. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39491#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
