PIrsyncD stands for: Python Inotify Rsync Daemon.

Description:
This is an attempt of writing a daemon to watch a directory for kernel’s inotify events and then execute an rsync command to synchronize two different directories (local or remote). This is a poor man’s mirroring or an alternative (not so) real data replication mechanism and it is based on Pyinotify.

• Added functionality to run multiple instances of PIrsyncD (Based on Jeff Templon & Jan Just Keijser’s patch)

Στην αναζήτηση μου για να ανεβάσω τον κώδικα του PIrsyncD σε μία ελεύθερη πλατφόρμα λογισμικού με υποστήριξη mercurial κατέληξα στις εξής δύο λύσεις:

α. SourceForge
β. BitBucket

Είμαι μέλος του sf από το 2002 (7 χρόνια), μάλιστα η πτυχιακή μου ήταν βασισμένη στο sf (δημιούργησα το ellak-dev και λειτούργησε στις αρχές ως πλατφόρμα λογισμικού για έλληνες developers υπό το ellak.gr) και πλέον το sf υποστηρίζει Mercurial, αλλά … αλλά τελικά κατέληξα στο bitbucket κυρίως λόγω της απλότητάς του:

http://bitbucket.org/ebal/pirsyncd/

Οπότε εάν κάποιος θέλει ένα αντίγραφο του PIrsyncD μπορεί να το κατεβάσει κι έτσι:

hg clone https://ebal@bitbucket.org/ebal/pirsyncd/
