Can anyone tell me how to install xjobs with pacman?
I tried registering to post to archlinux discussion group, but could not get past their "human" test, I suppose because I am not running archlinux, I run ubuntu and msys2: date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'
Thanks for explaining about archlinux / msys2 relationship.
I looked at the instructions on the "Building / Contributing" wiki page on the PKGBUILD page. It doesn't seem trivial. My guess is it would likely be frustrating for me. May I request that xjobs be considered for adding by someone who knows how create PKGBUILD? I think xjobs is pretty useful. Thanks, Daniel

You can lower the priority of my request, or perhaps just ignore it. It turns out, for my toolchain, I do not need to use xjobs under msys2. I use xjobs a lot under Linuxwhere I do most of the development, xjobs greatly speeds up many tasks for me, is easy to use, I like it a lot. But for building my windows exes, it is not needed, make -j does all the work, xjobs was just running as a placeholder on an empty jobs file, I refactored the shell scripts so the placeholder is skipped. Thanks

I know it's not relevant to you anymore, but if you're curious:
Since this would be an msys2 package (and not a mingw-w64 one), it should be pretty easy to create. Most of the time it suffices to copy the PKGBUILD from Arch Linux repositories and modify few minor things.

I found https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xjobs/ on archlinux site.
Please don't suggest to use xargs. I already looked into that, I much prefer xjobs.
Also, if suggestion how I can register on archlinux site, let me know.
Thanks,
Daniel
MSYS2 not use archlinux packages. We just use pacman from Arch Linux.
Our package recipies are located here:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages
We don't have xjobs package. You need create PKGBUILD for it yourself.
