> 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.
