Version 4.6 of synctool
Release Notes: The groups 'all' and 'none' are now built-in groups. Compound groups are new and may now be defined in the config file. The command-line parser now checks for excessive arguments. This catches mistakes that could previously lead to undesired results. A (harmless but annoying) bug in filtering ignored nodes in synctool-config was fixed. The upload feature was improved; it now works a lot better when the target is in a subdirectory that has been given a group extension.
Other releases
Release Notes: This release fixed a number of small issues and notably two larger ones: the PATH environment variable is now searched for the configured commands. This helps on multi-platform setups. The --erased-saved option now is an action by itself. Using --erased-saved will no longer trigger other updates to occur inadvertently.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in dsh-pkg commandline parsing. A nagios check script has been contributed to the project.
Release Notes: This release fixes a number of bugs present in the previous release. The comma-separated list of nodes and groups on the command line was not being parsed correctly in certain cases. Whenever output was being printed to stderr, the node name would not be printed in front of the message. An alternative way of uniquely identifying a node within the cluster was added. dsh-ping now also supports fping and Solaris ping.
Release Notes: HTML documentation has been added to the project. You may now use "synctool -e" to erase the ".saved" files. You may use the new command "dsh-ping" to check whether your nodes are alive. You may use the new command "dsh-pkg" to do package management. A new terse output mode has been added. The options -1, --single, --diff, and --ref may now be given multiple times on the command-line. Post-scripts for directories are now being run in the target directory rather than in the parent directory. Many new configuration parameters have been added. And there is more.
Release Notes: In some cases the "ignore" keyword would not actually cause the designated files or directories to be ignored. This bug has been fixed. dsh and dcp now accept the -q, --quiet option.
