Try removing the quotes around $e in the last line...  The quotes
tell the shell to interpret all of $e as one argument.

Unison, Gnome 2, and Gnome 3

I am currently using Unison between Debian Testing server and Debian
Testing and Mac OS X clients.  Debian Testing is now slowly moving from
Gnome 2 to Gnome 3.  Has anyone any experience of compiling Unison for
Gnome 3.  Does it go without a hitch or is it going to lead to some
work?

Thanks.

How to make unison create directory if it is not exist

Re: How to make unison create directory if it is not exist

Hi

My understanding is that a root is the root of what you want to sync. As
such it is not logical for any part of the root uri not to exist since
then Unison cannot know at what level in the directory structure to
start the sync. What you need to do is choose a higher level directory
as the root. e.g. dir1. Doing that will then allow Unison to createthe
missing directories since they within the root that does exist. I
appreciate that this may not be what you want but it is the only that
Unison or any other application can work.

Hi
Assume I have a unison command like that

unison -ui text /root/dir1/dir2/dir3/
ssh://somehost//root/dir1/dir2/dir3-batch -force=/root/dir1/dir2/dir3
-group -owner

this code fail if dir1 or dir2 or dir3 do not exist on somehost. Is
there
any option to make unison create directory?
Thank you...

Re: Re: Feature request: Option to disable "ignore one hour time difference"

OK, request is noted.

For the moment, if you're willing to recompile (it's pretty easy), you can make yourself a custom version
with this behavior disabled.  The line to change is in props.ml:

(* Accept one hour differences and one second differences *)
let possible_deltas =
  [ -3601L; 3601L; -3600L; 3600L; -3599L; 3599L; -1L; 1L; 0L ]

Fatal German Unicode again [1 Attachment]

<*>[Attachment(s) from reynolight included below]

Hi all,

using Version 2.40.61 on the Win XP commandline, I have recently posted
my hustle with German Umlaute in filenames.

Apparently, nobody else here has the same issue, so I tried it again.
The result is attached as a .png screenshot, just to be sure, these
funny Umlaute are shown exactly as intended.

The result is, as soon as a filename in one replica contains German
Umlaute, unison throws a "permission denied" error, when it comes to
that file. No matter, if -unicode true is attached as a parameter, or not.

Maybe it's interesting, how I have configured my commandline window. I
usually open it via shortcut as

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K chcp 1252

I have no idea at all, if this could influence the issue or not. Any
help appreciated anyway.

Reyno

Re: Fatal German Unicode again

Seb, you saved my night. Sometimes only a blind flight helps. I just
played around with some of your settings, et voila! If I am using two
parameters, everything is alright. To be specific:

...unison...exe repA repB -unison true -> "permission denied"

...unison...exe repA repB -unison true -showarchive -> great!

...unison...exe repA repB -unison true -confirmbigdeletes -> great!

My batch script shows, that I am already calling Unison with several
parameters. I will have to guess, which combination delivers. The
headlines of my recent batch script are

set log=x:\bat\sync.log
set usn=g:\portable\unison\Unison-2.40.61-Unicode.exe
set opt=-logfile %log% -auto -fastcheck true -perms 0

Maybe somebody on the list can verify, if this is bug in the commandline
interface of Unison?!

Glad I could help     :D
It seemed too strange that it worked over here on the same ver of binaries  but not for you.

... actually, too easy and too strange to be true.

Attached is another screenshot, demonstrating the "permission denied"
error again. No matter, how I am juggling the options.

Even more strange: Now, with my little test setup, I can verify, that
the Umlaut-named files are correctly copied, as well as any other,
non-Umlaut-named files, i.e. both replicas are synced "until", despite
the error message. But in a real run, of course, this weird wrong
message breaks the sync of all subsequently following files.

Looks like no doubt, that this is a bug of Unison itself. Is there any
chance for a patch, soon?

Thanks in advance
Reyno

Re: Fatal German Unicode again

It would help to know exactly where this exception is coming from.  Can you make a small test case that
generates the behavior and then run it with "-debug verbose" and post the last few hundred lines of the output?

Thanks,
