Lost connection with Unison-2.32.23

Hi All...

With Unison-2.32.23 GUI version for windows (compiled with OCaml 3.11.0) when the connection to the
server is lost,
the error popup has

Fatal error
Uncaught exception Unix.Unix_error(31, "select", "")

instead of the usual lost connection error popup.

Thanks,

...Karl

That should be fixed in the subversion repository already.

The problem is in the compilation of ocaml-lablgl. You could either  
contact the authors of that library, or compile a text-only version of  
unison (doing make UISTYLE=text).

Hope this helps,

Alan

Apparently, some build dependencies are missing: when compiling
ocaml-lablgl, the OpenGL include files are not found.

Could you try to run "make fetch-recursive" from
"/usr/ports/net/unison" first.

Problem with splitting a big archive

Hi,

So far Unison works great (greater than Rsync, yes).
As recommended, I'm splitting a big repository into several parts to make it work smoothly.

But I'm having a problem (misunderstanding or syntax problem I don't know). Here's a sample of the
directory structure I'm working with :
F:\tosync\bigarchive\A\
F:\tosync\bigarchive\B\
F:\tosync\bigarchive\C\
[snip]
F:\tosync\bigarchive\somefiles.txt

Then I'm using a script that basically does the following for each subfolder inside bigarchive :
> Unison-2.27.57-Text.exe stone -force F:\tosync\ -path bigarchive\A

Then, once the script has finished, I want to only sync the _files_ that are in bigarchive\ only (that is, not
going again through bigarchive/A/ subfolders etc...)

I tried :
> Unison-2.27.57-Text.exe stone -force F:\tosync\ -path bigarchive -ignore "Path = bigarchive\*"
But it doesn't do what I expect, and scans every subfolders inside :(

So, can you tell me where I am wrong ? 

Thanks for your advices, cheers !

That should be:

    -ignore "Path bigarchive/*"

However, this will also ignore all files in "bigarchive".  If you don't
want to synchronize too much, you can use this instead:

    -ignore "Path bigarchive/*/*"

But, now that all subfolders has been synchronized, Unison should run
smoothly over the whole directory.  So maybe you can simply remove the
"-ignore" parameter and let Unison scan everything.

Is it possible to modify unison so hacks like this aren't necessary?
Perhaps unison could notice when there are many files and do a
multi-stage sync (that would be similar to how this hack works).

File Ownership / Permission problems -> Running Unison over Socket connection

Hi,

I have been using unison very happily for quite some time in an all windows environment.

I have recently started using unison 2.27.57-2 [optware arm build] on a nas server (QNAP TS-119 
running Busy Box linux)

All seemed to be working ok, until today, when I was denied access to one of my files on the NAS.

On closer inspection, it appears that the ownership has been changed on the file (and all other 
files effected by my last sync)

I believe that starting the unison daemon on the nas box logged in as root, is probably the cause of 
the change in ownership ?

Unfortunately, the QNAP NAS, does not allow ssh or telnet connection from non-admin users.

So, if invoking the server side unison daemon as root is the problem, is there any way I can work 
around this issue ?

TIA

Sean

You can try to add the following to your Unison profile:
   servercmd = sudo -u user /path/to/unison

Another possibility is to tell unison to synchronize user and group
information by adding the following:

   user = true
   group = true

This second possibility will not work when running Unison from Windows
(except maybe if you are using a Cygwin unison binary).
