One obvious solution I can think of is to install Tracks on a central
machine as well as my laptop, mysqldump the database content and ship it
between the two installs and sync it via a script. Any ideas/thoughts?


There's an easier way, IMO.

In the past (before I put it on a central server for other reasons) I used
to run Tracks against an SQLite database, with the whole install living on a
usb memory key. This way I could run it on any machine independently of OS,
so long as the machine you want to run it on has Sqlite and Ruby (and a USB
port).

How you get the data out of MySQL and into SQlite may be a bit tricky though
- the data dumps are subtly different (I was changing jobs at the time I
swapped from SQlite locally to MySQL on the server, so could vaporise most
of the tasks and carry the rest over manually).
