Yes, in so far as whatever needed tweaking got tweaked and it worked
next time I tried it. But only 2.9.1 is available through fink, so if
you want 2.9.20 you'll need to contact the maintainer, who is listed
as Christopher League [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Or make it work
yourself (take a look at the fink docs on their website for how to
tweak fink things...).
The fink patch file is quite short for unison-2.9.1 so hopefully only
minor tweaking will be needed for the newer version.
Alternatively (assuming it isn't for a new feature in 2.9.20) you
could get unison-2.9.1 onto the system you need to sync with. Since
the binary is stand alone, and you only need it available to you when
you log in, it can be in your own home dir if you set your path
correctly.
I'm Cc'ing this to the finkusers list in case anyone there already has
2.9.20 working, but it just hasn't made it into fink yet. Since
unison is so fussy about compatible versions, it would need to become
a package with explicit version number, so people can choose the
version that matches their situation.
unison is a great tool, I use it on a daily basis between mac and
linux systems.

(only gnumeric left after this...wanna bet whether the 80
additional packages will all install in one go without a
hitch??)
P.S. it did: well done to all gnome finkers!!!

There is also a precompiled text-mode only binary (executable) for OS X
available in the Beta releases at the unison main site. I believe this
supports resource forks.

unison-2.10.2.osx-textui
I've not yet tried building it from source myself.
