Unison is a file synchronizer for Unix and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other. Changes in these releases: - Fixed two bugs in the postinstall scripts. One of them caused installation to fail in some cases. Thanks to Andy Moreton for pointing these out. Unison is packaged for Cygwin as three independent packages, each representing a version of Unison that is incompatible with the other two. You have to run the same version of Unison on the client and server, or Unison will issue an error message and quit. By installing one or more of these packages side by side, you can use whichever one you need to synchronize with a particular host. Please read /usr/share/doc/unison*/README.Cygwin for more details. The unison* packages also install a convenience symlink from /usr/bin/unison to one of the versioned unison executables, e.g. unison-2.27.exe. alternatives(8) is used to manage the symlink. If the symlink is being managed in "auto" mode, then it will automatically track the highest numbered version of unison that you have installed. You can override this choice by either changing the symlink manually with ln(1), or by using alternatives(8): alternatives --display unison shows you the installed versions of unison, their priorities, which executable the symlink points to, and whether the symlink is being managed in "auto" or "manual" mode. alternatives --config unison presents a menu from which you can choose which version you want to use as the default. This puts the symlink in manual mode. alternatives --auto unison puts the symlink in automatic mode, where it will always point to the highest numbered version of unison that's installed on your host. alternatives --set unison /usr/bin/unison-$V.exe forces the symlink to point to unison-$V.exe, and puts it in manual mode. Please see alternatives(8) for more details. Please note: if you installed any of the unison* packages prior to this release, a symlink from /usr/bin/unison was created for you on installation. alternatives(8) considers this symlink to be in "manual" mode, so it will not touch it until or unless you run alternatives with --config, --auto, or --set as described above.
