GNU Info (remsync.info)OverviewOverview of `remsync' and friends ********************************* The `remsync' program allows for transmitting, over email, selected parts of directories for trying to maintain up-to-date files over many sites. It sends out and processes incoming specially packaged files using `shar', `tar', `gzip' and electronic mail programs. There is no _master_ site, each site has an equal opportunity to modify files, and modified files are propagated. Among many other commands, the `broadcast' command sends an update package from the current site to all others, the `process' command is used to apply update packages locally after reception from remote sites. The unit of transmission is whole files. For now, whenever a module is modified, it is silently synchronized only if it has been modified at only one place. The merging has to be done at the site where the discrepancy is observed, from where it is propagated again.
