[opensuse] bidirectional rsync?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm looking for a bidirectional rsync: I want to keep two directories, in diferent machines sincronized, so that whatever new file in any of the machines gets copied to the other machine, detecting automatically which files need to be copied (or even deleted) and in which direction. Windows has this; in Spanish its named "Maletin", I don't know how they translate it to English something like "hand baggage", or "briefcase". The directory defined for this behaviour keeps a hidden file with a database helping the explorer to decide what to copy and where to. Do we have something equivalent? Command line is fine. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Do we have something equivalent? Command line is fine. Two solutions I know (and are available from oS repos) are
unison [http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/] which has worked for me in the past, but needs to be installed on both machines also csync [http://www.csync.org/] which is relatively new Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks. Several people have recomended this one, and I got it working in minutes. I edited its configuration file manually to convince it to ignore all .svn directories.
also csync [http://www.csync.org/] which is relatively new
Other sugestions have been "conduit" and "DirSyncPro", but I got unison working before really testing these two. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

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? Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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
