Comments for DirSync
New Feature Suggestion/ Windoze uses
First, Micro$oft windows users:
Note that this works OUT of the box from the zip file version on windoze. I personally leave it in the same directory on all my machines
C:\program files\util\dirsync
Second, it would be great if we could have a new option, say -l (or Log) which would take also imply a -v9. The -L(og) option would write a detailed log of all actions to a file named dirsync.MMYYDD or something similar...
Help getting rsync up on windoze (2000/xp)

OK. for the totally ignornat, can someone help us newbies
and show us WHAT needs to be done aftger

This application is not a subset of rsync
because the purpose is different , is a small utility
that syncronize 2 directory not only on Unix
machine but also in Win32 and even MSDOS,
the main purpose is to mirror data from 2 system
for example one server and one notebook or
one production server and one backup server.

Oh, how did I miss that? Infact, now I think I need to check
this out as I might put it to use on a windoze box.

Because it's apparently only about 28k of source. o.O
It also looks like it's buildable on windows and linux, and
supports MSDoS (with only a makefile) which is a bit of
an accomplishment.
It also seems to be keeping with the unix philosophy of
"seprate small utilities that do only one thing very well",
granted, I don't know how well it's done, and there's no
license indication (buh?), but it looks like it could have
it's use for embedded purposes somehow (ie: An mp3
player that syncs with other mp3 players).

Ok, I must admit I have not yet looked at the source but
from a glance it is just a lesser variant of rsync (http://
rsync.samba.org/)? Why re-invent the wheel?

In version 1.09 I have added log support.
