Description:
dsync 0.9.4 is file managers software developed by Igor.
dsync is a tool for merging or synchronizing contents of two directories, or just for backups.
dsync project is written in Perl. dsync is inspired by Dan Kogai's psync.
I sought something similar to (but more robust than!) the legacy PowerMerge programs available some years ago for classic releases of Mac OS. Dan Kogai's nifty psync and supporting MacOSX::File modules seemed like a great start.
Having some time during the lull of the holiday season, I cobbled together Dsync. With Dsync, I attempted to capture the feature set of PowerMerge with the foundation of psync and a few ideas for improvement.
This is an early release. I use it on my systems with some degree of success, but the tool is far from well-tested, predictable, or reliable. Please treat it as development-grade software and help me improve it with your feedback.
While Dsync's current focus aims exclusively at Mac OS X and its underlying idiosynchracies, I expect that it would be trivial to modify Dsync to work under any unix-like OS.
Installation:
Copy the program to wherever it is easily accessible:
$ cp dsync /usr/local/bin/
Make sure the executable bit is set:
$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/dsync
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24841 Dec 25 13:54 /usr/local/bin/dsync
if not, then set it:
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/dsync
If you have Perl installed elsewhere than /usr/bin, then create a symbolic link:
$ cd /usr/bin
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl
[or wherever you keep Perl]
You will also need MacOSX::File by Dan Kogai:
< http://search.cpan.org/dist/MacOSX-File/ >
To get started, take a look at dsync.html included with this distribution or type:
$ perlpod /usr/local/bin/dsync
[or wherever you stashed dsync]
What's New in This Release:
Added an option for lax synchronization to foreign file systems.
dsync 0.9.4 supports different languages (including english). It works with Linux.
Downloading dsync 0.9.4 will take several seconds if you use fast ADSL connection.
