I'm the copyright owner of task spooler. I'm surprised you republished my program, added yourself as author and copyright owner, and published a new version under the same name. Please make sure distributions do not take this "the next version of Task Spooler". I came here because I saw termux has the package "task-spooler/2.0.0".
It's fine if you fork it, but please rename it. You can create derived work and you may have copyright only over nontrivial additions.

Support you. I was confused why there were two task-spooler project while one can be installed via apt, the other one (this project) needs to be compiled by myself.
I suggest changing the name of this project to somthing like light-slurm or gpu-spooler.
