Description Nick Howell 2010-07-18 16:29:18 UTC
moreutils contains several independent applications; on principle they should be split. 

Additionally, GNU parallel (http://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/) will conflict if/when its added to the tree, and sys-process/ts (in Sunrise) already conflicts. (GNU parallel and moreutils parallel are different programs.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -av moreutils

Actual Results:  
One package is installed containing 13 completely different programs. If you have sys-process/ts installed, you can't install any of them.

Expected Results:  
I can pick which programs I want to install. If I want all of them, I install moreutils, but I can also install just sys-apps/isutf8 if I want.

Shouldn't be too hard to split. Some scripts are in perl, some are C. A simple sed on the Makefile should cause it to only compile and install a particular program.
