Public bug reported:
Hi,
16.04 comes with a new version of unison, which is great.
Unfortunately, it comes just with that new version, not older ones.
Unison can synchronize only with precisely the same version on the peer,
not interact with others. Therefore a 16.04 machine cannot sync to any
older linux (ubuntu,debian,...), especially not to servers running
14.04.
Older versions of ubuntu therefore came with different versions of
unison, i.e. at least the version of the last LTS version to keep it
functional and to have new clients work with older (but still supported)
LTS servers.
