[Wolfi Package Request]: parallel #3778

Description

@gbucknel

What software would you like us to add to wolfi-os. Ideally include a URL to the project and its source.

GNU Parallel
https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/

Source -> https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/

which versions of the software should we include?

parallel-20230622 (latest)

Add some justification for why this specific package and versions are important.

GNU Parallel is a venerable and very useful cli tool for running jobs in parallel.

It preserves job output order, which xargs does not do.

As their own documentation states (https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/parallel_alternatives.html) , there are lots of similar tools, but GNU Parallel continues to receive frequent updates. This means it could be suitable for inclusion in wolfi OS .

Please check all that apply

  • This package has an un-restrictive license
  • The package/versions proposed are actively maintained upstream
  • I am interested in adding this package to Wolfi OS myself
  • I am willing to help maintain this package
