That's weird. It seems there was already a different project called csync2 - "Csync2 is a cluster synchronization tool" - http://oss.linbit.com/csync2/ and somebody then decided to create a new synchronization tool called csync with a different target audience. Or have I misread the dates or missed something?
Nope, you haven't missed anything. Looking at the project websites csync2 came first (2004?) and then unrelated csync came next (2007) - from SUSE's Andreas Schneider IIRC. Looks like random name collision ... csync2 claims to be for "for HA-clusters, HPC-clusters, COWs and server farms." while csync says "intention is to provide Roaming Home Directories for Linux but you can use it to synchronize your music collection or create a backup of a directory." so slightly different aims. Anyway, YMMV. Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
