All of that is bucardo4. There is no more 'swap' sync types in bucardo5 - simply a list of databases. More than one source and you have the rough equivalent of the old "swap" sync. I made a quick template for the wiki to mark pages as 'bucardo 5 only'. We should probably make an equivalent on for things that are deprecated or majorly changed, such as swap syncs. > And which of these is the default if the value is ''?

Although is it “latest” or > “bucardo_latest”? It's bucardo_latest, to emphasize this is an internal, built-in choice, and not simply a database named 'latest'. :) > Er, could it perhaps be called something else? `standard_conflict` > is a bit of an odd name: I’m not specifying a conflict, but a conflict > resolution handler. Maybe `conflict_handler`? I agree the name is not great, but conflict_handler is not good either: we already have that, as the name of a block of code that gets executed via customcode to handle the conflict. So perhaps conflict_method or conflict_handling_method or somesuch? <waves hands around> -- Greg Sabino Mullane [email protected] End Point Corporation PGP Key: 0x14964AC8
