There is a manpage with rdiff that explains how to use it. On Debian systems just install the rdiff deb. Be aware though that the 0.9.5 version of rdiff/librsync has a bug that results in larger than necisary delta's. The CVS for the librsync project on SF has a much better version in it. > Moreover, since the synchronization stuff I'm looking for will end into a > perl script, has anybody developed an equivalent of pysync in perl?

I think someone has written a perl interface to librsync... have a search of the rproxy project list archive on SF (the librsync project started as part of the rproxy project). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info, including pgp key ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
