Description of problem: Hopefully this is the right bugzilla product and Component. I originally misfiled in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1849433. The GNU parallel (from epel-release) is an old version 20160222-1.el7 (2019 in epel 8) but the real problem is it is MISSING the env_parallel.* scripts that should be installed like /usr/bin/env_parallel.sh /usr/bin/env_parallel ... The same parallel version gets installed in ubuntu:18.04 but it includes those files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 20160222-1.el7 How reproducible: Install it, notice missing files. Steps to Reproduce: $ docker run -ti centos:7.7.1908 bash # same with centos:8 and I'm sure official rhel # yum install -y epel-release # yum install -y parallel # parallel --version # works # env_parallel # Missing! bash: env_parallel: command not found Actual results: bash: env_parallel: command not found Expected results: /usr/bin/env_parallel* are installed Additional info:
There has been no update from redhat or epel about this issue in over a year since it was filed. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/parallel/2020-06/msg00007.html FYI there is a correct rpm here but it is updated monthly so don't rely on it for build scripts. https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/tange/CentOS_7/noarch/ Sure wish RedHat/IBM/EPEL would just correct the package they maintain.
Fixed in latest builds: 69 + %{_bindir}/env_parallel* 70 + %{_mandir}/man1/env_parallel.1*
