Description : live syncing mirror daemon that synchronizes local
directories using rsync
Lsyncd uses rsync to synchronize local directories with a remote machine
running rsyncd. Lsyncd watches multiple directories trees through inotify. The
first step after adding the watches is to rsync all directories with the remote
host, and then sync single file by collecting the inotify events. So lsyncd is
a light-weight live mirror solution that should be easy to install and use
while blending well with your system. See lsyncd --help for detailed command
line options.
My motivation for packaging this software is the article at
http://fak3r.com/2009/09/14/howto-build-your-own-open-source-dropbox-clone/ and
that it seems useful to have a package to perform such a setup even more
easily.
