quoted from the website. GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel locally or using remote machines. A job is typically a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. ---END--- Especially users with multi cpu/cores machine would be happy to do iterative tasks. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 257137 [details] parallel-20101202.ebuild i guess sys-apps or sys-process category would be suitable.
Funny, I wrote a similar ebuild for this same thing and was just about to upload it :). Suggest accepting ~x86 as I have tested. Personally I threw mine into app-shells because of prll...
I would take this, if you two assist me in maintenance...so you do the work, I commit.

Added to Portage, thanks for the input. File bug reports for any changes you want to the ebuild, put me in CC if the bug is not assigned in a timely manner.
