Hi Iain I had a bit of fun when I made a deb of sync-engine too. I'll gloss over some of it, since debian policy uses particular things like pycentral or python-support. I get the equivalent of what you get, in site-packages. For the base config, I installed config.xml in site-packages/SyncEngine, dropped the third of the above lines so self.sepath refers to this dir, and further on changed config/config.xml to just config.xml. I did this because it seemed inappropriate to have a file called config.xml in site-packages. I think it would still be better in /usr/share/sync-engine or something. I also put authcli and authgui in site-packages/SyncEngine, and changed the path in auth.py Hope this helps Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
