Bug#1000995: O: ruby-in-parallel -- lightweight Ruby library with very simple syntax for parallelization
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: codehelp@debian.org
Control: affects -1 src:ruby-in-parallel
The freexian packaging team is no longer maintaining puppet-beaker
or the dependencies, so I am orphaning the ruby-in-parallel package.
The package VCS is already part of the Debian team in Salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ruby-in-parallel.git
The package description is:
A lightweight Ruby library with very simple syntax, making use of
Process.fork to execute code in parallel.
.
Many other Ruby libraries that simplify parallel execution support
one primary use case - crunching through a large queue of small,
similar tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible. This library
primarily supports the use case of executing a few larger and
unrelated tasks in parallel, automatically managing the stdout and
passing return values back to the main process.
.
This library was created to be used by Puppet's Beaker test framework
to enable parallel execution of some of the framework's tasks, and
allow users to execute code in parallel within their tests.
.
If you are looking for something that excels at executing a large
queue of tasks in parallel as efficiently as possible, you should
take a look at the parallel project.
