(My OCD kicked in today...) Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription. I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions. I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I succeeded). Some specifics worth mentioning: * cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the description. * ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the "exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis at the end of description. * nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from nixos.org). * Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description either.

'' GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel. 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, or a list of tables.
|
|
|
|
If you use xargs today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use.
|
|
If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able
|
|
to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running
|
|
jobs in parallel. If you use ppss or pexec you will find GNU
|
|
Parallel will often make the command easier to read.
|
|
|
|
GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output
|
|
as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes
|
|
it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other
|
|
programs.
